Eukaryotic cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Ribosomes | Protein synthesis |
| Peroxisome | Oxidizes fatty acids |
| Cytoskeleton | Support, movement |
| Lysosome | Degrades debris |
| Vesicles | Transport lipids and proteins between ER, golgi, and plasma membrane |
| Golgi | Processes, packages, and targets proteins to organelles for export |
| Smooth ER | Lipid synthesis and drug metabolism |
| Rough ER | Site of much protein synthesis (has ribosomes) |
| Nucleus | Contains genes (chromatin) |
| Nucleolus | Site of ribosomal RNA synthesis |
| Mitochondrion | Produces ATP (fuel oxidation) |
| Plasma membrane | Separates cell from environment, regulates material movement in and out of cell |
| Nuclear envelope | Segregates chromatin (DNA & protein) from cytoplasm |
