|
Cell membranes |
Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cells, can be folded into microvilli to increase surface area for absorption |
|
|
Nucleus |
Contains DNA providing the instructions of protein synthesis |
|
|
Mitochondrion |
Cristae that increase surface are for absorption, contains the matrix that contains respiratory enzymes for use in aerobic respiration producing ATP |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Contains the stroma site of light independent reaction. Thylakoid discs stacked into grana contain chlorophyll and is the site of light independent reaction of photosynthesis |
