enFICell Organenes13
cell organelles: are found only in Eukaryota cells and are absent from the cells of prokaryotes such as bacteria.
cell membrane:the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
Nucleus:the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth
Cytoskeleton:a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.
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.
Ribosome:a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells.
Golgi Apparatus:a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
Lysosomes:an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
Mitochondria:an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
Chloroplast:(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
Cell Wall:a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria.
Vacuoles:a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
Centriole:a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
