CELL
• Chromosomes – are
structures within the
nucleus that are made
up of DNA, the
hereditary material.
RIBOSOMES
• Are the cellular
organelles responsible
for protein synthesis
and are considered the
protein factories of the
cell.
MITOCHONDRIA
• “Powerhouse of the cell” because they are
responsible for making adenosine
triphosphate (ATP).
PEROXISOMES
• Are small, round organelles enclosed by single
membranes.
• Vacuoles – membrane-
bound sacs for storage,
digestion, and waste
removal
ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM
• Group of membranes in eukaryotic cells that
works together to modify, package, and
transport lipids and proteins.
Two types
• Smooth: lacks ribosomes
• Contains a pair of
centrioles.
CELL WALL
• Rigid covering that protects the cell, provides
structural support, and gives shape to the cell.
• Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria
CHLOROPLASTS
• Are plant cell organelles that carry out
photosynthesis.
