STRUCTURE
CYTOPLASM
NUCLEUS
The most essential part of the cell, which
regulates its development and reproduction and
houses its genetic material.
PLASMA MEMBRANE
Sometimes referred to as the cell membrane, it is the
membrane that serves as a barrier that regulates the
transit of materials and flow of substances into and
out of the cell.
ORGANELLES
MICROVILLI
These are small finger-like projections present on
cells that increase their surface area for better
passage or absorption of fluids or nutrients.
MICROTUBULES
These are tubular-shaped polymers that are
distributed throughout the cytoplasm and are a part
of the cytoskeleton that help in cell movement,
division, and intracellular material transport.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It is a complex network of tubular membranes in
charge of lipid synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism,
and the synthesis and release of steroid hormones. In
short, it is a site of protein synthesis.
MITOCHONDRION
It is a double membrane-bound organelle that serves
as the cell's "digestive system" and is crucial for the
breakdown of nutrients and production of energy-
rich molecules for the cell.
RIBOSOME
It is an organelle responsible for the process of
protein synthesis, also known as translation, which
converts amino acids into proteins.
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It is the tubular, ribosome-less endoplasmic reticulum.
It is in charge of the synthesis of lipids, the metabolism
of carbohydrates, and the synthesis and release of
steroid hormones. Additionally, it moves the rough ER's
products to other cellular organelles.
The gel-like fluid that serves as the medium for
chemical reactions within the cell as it offers a
platform for operating other organelles inside the
cell.
NUCLEOLUS
It is regarded as the brain of the nucleus, and it
participates in the synthesis of the subunits that
combine to create ribosomes, hence it is crucial to
the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes.
GOLGI COMPLEX
Also known as golgi apparatus, it is a membrane-
bound organelle whose primary job is to package
and secrete proteins, wherein it obtains proteins
from the ER and bundles them into membrane-
bound vesicles that are sent to other places.
VACUOLE
It is a membrane-bound, watery fluid-filled
organelle that aids in the disposal and storage of a
variety of substances, including nutrients and food
necessary for the survival of the cell.
CENTRIOLE
It is a cylindrical-shaped organelle that is involved
in cell division and aids in the formation of spindle
fibers, which keep the chromosomes apart during the
cell cycle.
LYSOSOMES
Also referred to as the "suicidal bag," it is a
membrane-bound spherical sac that is filled with
hydrolytic enzymes that engulf and break down
cellular waste and debris.
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It is a flattened sac network, which is linked and has
several ribosomes on its outside. It is responsible for
the synthesis and secretion of hormones, proteins in
the liver, and other substances in the glands.
