14 organelles

TermDefinition
Nucleus The control center of the cell that holds DNA and coordinates cell activities like growth and reproduction.
Mitochondria The powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Covered with ribosomes and involved in protein synthesis. Smooth ER: Involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
Golgi Bodies the cell's post office. They take proteins and other things made in the cell, modify them (add stuff to them), and then send them to the right places inside or outside the cell
Lysosomes Contain enzymes that break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign invaders.
Ribosomes Sites of protein synthesis, either floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER.
Cytoplasm The jelly-like substance that holds the cell's organelles and allows for molecular movement.
Cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that protects the cell, regulates the movement of substances in and out, and facilitates communication with other cells.
Cell wall a rigid outer layer that provides structural support, protection, and shape to cells. It is primarily found in plant cells, fungi, bacteria, and some protists. However, animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Chromosomes Proteins that contain DNA, which has coded into for making molecules (found in both)
Centrioles small, cylindrical structures found in animal cells and some lower plant and protist cells. They play a crucial role in cell division, specifically in organizing the structures that pull chromosomes apart during mitosis and meiosis.
Vacuole Stores water, minerals/vitamins. Much bigger in plant cells (found in both)
Chloroplasts Uses sunlight to make its own food: photosynthesis
