4905500883NucleusHouses DNA (BOTH)0
4905514155Nuclear EnvelopePorous outer structure of Nucleus. Controls what gets in and out of nucleus (BOTH)1
4905532678NucleolusSite of Ribosome synthesis. (BOTH)2
4905539115CytoplasmCytoplasm Area from Plasma Membrane to the Nucleus filled with cytolsol - the jelly-like material organelles are suspended in. (BOTH)3
4905550530Plasma (Cell) MembraneSemi-permeable outer structure of cell; controls what goes in/out of cell. (BOTH)4
4905559053RibosomeSite of protein synthesis. (BOTH)5
4905564915Golgi Apparatus-Synthesizes, Modifies, & Sorts cell products. Secretes products into vesicles for transport. -Produces Lysosomes -Flattened membrane sacs called cisternae (BOTH)6
4905576747Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum-Covered in Ribosomes (aids protein synthesis) -Compartmentalizes Cell (produces membrane) -Mechanical Support for Cell -Intracellular Transport (BOTH)7

4905584848Lysosome-Digests Macromolecules using hydrolytic enzymes -controls programmed cell death (Apoptosis) (ANIMAL)9
4905592045Mitochondria-Site of Cellular Respiration (ATP Production) -Double membrane with folds (cristae) to increase SA for max. cellular respiration capability. (BOTH)10
4905598671PeroxisomeInvolved in metabolism; produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which then gets converted into water & oxygen gas. (BOTH)11
