Cytoplasm   the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.  
🗑
Nucleus   In cell biology, the nucleus is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells  
🗑
Nucleous   The nucleolus is a round body located inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell  
🗑
Nuclear membrane   A nuclear membrane, also known as the nuclear envelope, is the lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells.  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum   a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.  
🗑
Ribosomes   A sphere-shaped structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is composed of RNA and protein and is the site of protein synthesis.  
🗑
Mitochondria   an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur  
🗑
Golgi body   a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.  
🗑
Centrioles   a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.  
🗑
Vacuole   A cavity within the cytoplasm of a cell, surrounded by a single membrane and containing fluid, food, or metabolic waste  
🗑
Lysosome   an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.  
🗑
Peroxisome   a cell organelle containing catalase, peroxidase, and other oxidative enzymes and performing essential metabolic functions, as the decomposition of fatty acids and hydrogen peroxide.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Chloroplast is the combination of two biological terms, plastid and chloros, which means green.  
🗑
