| Question |
Answer |
| Plasma Membrane |
Is the external boundary of the cell |
| Lysosomes |
Contains digestive enzymes of may varieties "suicide sac" of the cell |
| Mitochondria |
Scattered throughout the cell:major site of ATP syntheses |
| Microvilli |
Slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increases its surface area. |
| Inclusions |
Stored glycogen granules, crystals, pigments and so on. |
| Golgi apparatus |
membranous system consisting of flattened sacs and vesicles:packages proteins for export |
| Nucleus |
Control center of the cell: necessary for cell divisson and cell life |
| Centrioles |

| Nucleolus |
Dense, darkly staining nuclear body:packaging site for ribosomes |
| Micro Filaments |
Contractile elements of the cytoskeleton |
| Ribosomes |
Membranous system: involved in intracellular transport of proteins and synthesis of membrane lipids |
| Ribosomes |
attached to membrane systems or scattered in the cytoplasm:synthesize proteins |
| Chromatin |
Threadlike structures in the nucleus:contain gentic materail (DNA) |
