Ribosomes
Small complexes found in cytoplasm, where amino acids are connected together to produce proteins, in protein synthesis
Nucleus
Compartment in cell where DNA is stored as chromosomes
Mitochondria
Rod-shaped structures found in cytoplasm where aerobic respiration occurs and most of the cell’s ATP is produced
Cytoplasm
Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ribosomes, where many chemical reaction occur
Cell membrane
Selectively permeable double layer of lipid and protein molecules that controls which substances can enter and leave the cell
Cell wall
Freely permeable layer surrounding the cell membrane, made up of cellulose in plants and chitin in fungi. It give the cell a rigid structure, as well as strengthening it.
Vacuole
Compartment in cell containing solution of salts and sugars (Cell SAP) where water is stored and turgor is maintained within the cell.
Chloroplast
Disc-shaped structures found in cytoplasm where photosynthesis occurs and sugar is produced
