Cell Membrane
Surrounds the cytoplasm, provides protection and a fixed environment inside the cell, transports nutrients into the cell, and toxic substances out of the cell
Ribosomes
Primarily responsible for protein synthesis; they translate the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) into a chain of amino acids, which then fold to form proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Primarily responsible for synthesizing proteins and lipids, modifying and folding proteins, and transporting molecules throughout the cell
Golgi Apparatus
Processes, sorts, packages, and transports proteins and lipids.
Vacuoles
Stores water, starches, nutrients, waste products, and pigments, maintain cell turgor pressure, particularly in plant cells, by regulating water content and providing structural support.
Cell Wall
Provides structural support, allowing cells to maintain their shape and resist external forces. They also protect the cell from viruses
Cytoplasm
Acts as the gel-like fluid inside a cell, providing a medium for molecule transport between organelles, and maintaining cell shape
Cytoskeleton
Provides structural support for a cell, maintaining its shape, and enabling cell movement by facilitating the transport of organelles and vesicles within the cell
Nucleus
Functions as the control center of the cell by storing and protecting the cell’s genetic material (DNA), and directing various cellular activities like growth, division, and differentiation
Nucleolus
Produces and assembles ribosomes, the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis
