|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Membranous organelle consisting of a series of tubules responsible for the production and packaging of lipid and steroids. |
Lunch meat without dots. |
|
|
Ribosome |
Tiny, round, organelle responsible for the production of proteins. Can be found free within the cytoplasm or fixed on a specific membranous organelle. |
Little dots on Rough endoplasmic reticulum and around cell. |
|
|
Cilia |
Series of long plasma membrane extensions that have the ability to beat rhythmically to propel substances along the cell surfaces. |
Large bunny ears. |
|
|
Lysosome |
Membrane-bound vesicles that contain strong, acidic digesting enzymes responsible for breakdown of damaged organelles or phagocytized pathogens. Produced by Golgi Apparatus. |

|
|
Microvilli |
Series of tiny plasma membrane extensions used to increase the cell's surface area for absorption. |
Little hairs on the side. |
|
|
Centriole |
Organelle composed of paired cylindrical bodies composed of microtubules. Responsible for chromosome movement during cell division, |
Churros |
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
Non-membranous structure that forms the cytoplasmic framework of the cell. It consists of numerous non-membrane bound organelles. |
little squiggly lines |
|
|
Peroxisomes |
