cell membrane

the outer of the cell consisting of a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it.

nucleus

cytoplasm

it is the jelly-like substance in a cell that contains the cytology, organelles, and inclusions, but not including the nucleus

vacuole

a membrane-bound vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell whose function includes intracellular secretion, excretion, storage, and digestion

lysosome

organelles containing a large range of digestive enztmesused primarily for digestion and removal of excess or worn-out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria

ribosomes

a molecule consisting of two subunits that fit together and work as one to built proteins accordion to the genetic sequence held whiten the messenger RNA (mRNA)

rough endoplasmic

has ribosomes attached to its surface it is there fore involved in protein synthesis and secretion

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

does not have ribosomes on its surface. it is involved in intracellular transport, such as the transport of the products of the RER to other cell parts like Golgi apparatus

golgi apparatus

involved in carbohydrates to proteins, packaging of molecules like proteins into vesicles for secretion, transport of liquids around cell, and the creation of twosomes

chloroplast

green; site of photosynthesis

mitochondria

powerhouse of the cell since they act as the site for the production of high-energy compounds (e.g. ATP), which are vital energy source for several cellular processes

cell wall

a membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to give cells rigidity, strength and protection against mechanical stress. it is found in cells of plant, bacteria,Archean, fungi, and algae. animals and most protists do not have cell walls
