| 7556898090 | Endomembrane System | A network of membranes inside a eukaryotic cell, related either through direct physical contact or by the transfer of membranous vesicles. (Nuclear Envelope; RER; Smooth ER; Vesicles; Golgi) |  | 0 |
| 7556898091 | Ribosome | Composed of Large and Small subunits; responsible for protein synthesis |  | 1 |
| 7556898092 | Mitochondria | Contains structures such as the cristae, inner membrane, out membrane, and matrix. Location of aerobic respiration. |  | 2 |
| 7556898093 | Golgi Apparatus | Receives vesicles and their contents from smooth ER , modifies them, repackages them into vesicles and distributes them to the plasma membrane by exocytosis |  | 3 |
| 7556898094 | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm |  | 4 |
| 7556898095 | Chloroplast | Membrane bound organelle that contains stroma, thylakoids, grana, and chlorophyll. Photosynthetic organelle that was acquired via endosymbiotic theory. |  | 5 |
| 7556898098 | lysosome | membranous organelle with hydrolytic enzymes that digests macromolecules such as complex lipids or proteins. |  | 6 |
| 7556898099 | Nuclear Envelope | Portion of the endomembrane system that houses DNA. Contains nuclear pores to allow mRNA to travel in and out | 7 | |
| 7556898101 | Centriole | cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division. | 8 | |
| 7556898102 | Cytoskeleton | Network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement. |  | 9 |
| 7556898105 | Cellulose Cell Wall | Made of the polysaccharide cellulose. Provides structural support in plants. | 10 | |
| 7556898106 | Cell Junctions | connections between cells that hold the cells together as a unit | 11 | |
| 7556898109 | gap junction | Points that provide cytoplasmic channels from one cell to another with special membrane proteins. Also called communicating junctions. |  | 12 |
| 7556898110 | Extracellular Matrix | The substance in which animal tissue cells are embedded, consisting of protein and polysaccharides. | 13 | |
| 7556926325 | Smooth ER | membranous organelle responsible for lipid synthesis, storage of calcium and detoxification of poisons. | 14 | |
| 7556931444 | Vacuole | organelle that can store various materials, helps plant cells maintain their shape. | 15 | |
