NucleusQuit
The nucleus is the control center of the cell. The nucleus contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes that are required for reproduction.
Ribosomes cover the outside of the nucleus. The nucleus consists of two membranes.
The nucleolus contains RNA which is used to synthesize ribosomes.
Plasma membraneQuit
The plasma membrane is the outer “skin” of the cell. It separates the cell from outside bodies.
The membrane is selectively permeable, meaning only certain molecules can pass through.
It is also involved in transport of materials.
MitochondrionQuit
The Mitochondrion is the source of energy for the cell, sometimes called the “power house.” It creates energy for the cell in the form of ATP.
The mitochondrion is responsible for cellular metabolism.
Many cells only have one mitochondrion, but some have many. Human liver cells contain thousands of mitochondria.
PeroxisomeQuit
Peroxisome breaks down fatty acids.
They also carry enyzmes that get rid of peroxides, which are toxic to the cell.
CytoskeletonQuit
The cytoskeleton is what gives the cell its structure. It is made up of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.
It protects the cell.
The cytoskeleton allows for cell division and movement of bodies within the cell.
It also allows for cellular motion with structures like the flagella, cilia, or lamellipodia.
FlagellumQuit
The flagellum is a whiplike tail attached to the cell which is used for movement.
Flagella are formed from microtubules.
An example of a cell with a flagellum in humans is the sperm cell.
EndoplasmicreticulumQuit
The endoplasmic reticulum comes in two forms, rough and smooth.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is called rough because it is covered in ribosomes. It is involved in transportation of proteins.
The Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids as well as various metabolic processes.
Golgi vesicles (golgi apparatus)Quit
The Golgi apparatus could be considered a shipping and receiving warehouse for the cell. It ships, sorts, and packages life sustaining macromolecules (such as proteins and lipids) for use within the cell or for outgoing processes.
LysosomeQuit
Lysosomes are the digesters of the cell. They are filled with enzymes that break down food, worn-out organelles, and invaders to the cell, like bacteria or viruses.

CentriolesQuit
Centrioles are barrel shaped organelles made up of microtubules that are involved in separating the chromosomes during cellular division.
They are also necessary for the production of flagella and cilia.
CytoplasmQuit
The cytoplasm includes all parts of the cell within the plasma membrane. This includes the organelles, cytosol, and cytoplasmicinclusions.
Cytosol is the liquid mixture of water, salts, and organic molecules that make up that exist outside the organelles.
Cytoplasmic inclusions are insoluble substances that float within the cell, such as lipid droplets.
Secretory vesicleQuit
A vesicle is a small bubble of liquid that is transported or stored within a cell.
A secretory vesicle is one that is excreting its contents from the cell.
Vesicles can excrete waste, but they can also excrete chemicals for cellular functions like neurotransmission.
