03.2 Cell Organelles

Eukaryotic cells share many similarities.

AB
cytoskeletonnetwork of proteins, such as microtubules and microfilaments, inside a eukaryotic cell that supports and shapes the cell
nucleusorganelle composed of a double membrane that acts as the storehouse for most of a cell's DNA (plural: nuclei)
endoplasmic reticuluminterconnected network of thin, folded membranes that produce, process, and distribute proteins
ribosomeorganelle that links amino acids together to form proteins
Golgi apparatusstack or flat, membrane-enclosed spaces containing enzymes that process, sort, and deliver proteins
vesiclesmall organelle that contains and transports materials within the cytoplasm
mitochondrionbean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has its own ribosomes and DNA (plural: mitochondria)
vacuoleorganelle that is used to store materials, such as water, food, or enzymes, that are needed by the cell
lysosomeorganelle that contains enzymes
centriolesmall cylinder-shaped organelle made of protein tubes arranged in a circle; aids mitosis
cell wallrigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to cells in plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria
chloroplastorganelle composed of numerous membranes that are used to convert solar energy into chemical energy; contains chlorophyll
