| 466688099 | Cytoplasm | entire inside of cell (except nucleus) | |
| 466688100 | Cytosol | inside of cell but outside organelles | |
| 466688101 | Cytoskeleton | network of protein scaffolding that serves as a cell's internal framework | |
| 466688102 | Mitochondria | Harness energy/ produce ATP ("energy currency of cell") | |
| 466688103 | Plasma membrane | outer layer made up of phospholipids, proteins; regulates things coming in and out of cell | |
| 466688104 | Endoplasmic reticulum | involved in synthesizing proteins ands lipids | |
| 466688105 | Lysosomes | break down macromolecules | |
| 466688106 | Golgi apparatus | modifies/sorts proteins to final destination in or out of cell | |
| 466688107 | Cell wall | plant cell's rigid barrier; made of polysaccharides | |
| 466688108 | Vacuoles | filled with water; contribute to rigidity in plant structure (keeps turgor pressure) | |
| 466688109 | Organelles | membrane-bound specialized compartments in a cell | |
| 466688110 | Vesicles | small membrane-bound sacs that transport things (by budding and fusing) | |
| 466688111 | Endomembrane system | membranes in cell; nuclear envelope, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes | |
| 466856786 | Location of protein synthesis | in cytoplasm and ER | |
| 466856787 | Endocytosis | vesicles buds off plasma membrane bringing outside material into cell | |
| 466856788 | Exocytosis | vesicles fuse with plasma membrane to empty contents outside cell or to membrane | |
| 466856789 | Nuclear envelope | two layer (inner/outer) lipid membrane around nucleus | |
| 466856790 | Nuclear pores | protein openings on nucleus | |
| 466856791 | lumen | inside of ER | |
| 466856792 | Rough ER | proteins synthesized on ribosomes dotting the ER | |
| 466856793 | Smooth ER | lacks ribosomes but is the main place to make lipids | |
| 466938240 | amphipathic | molecules with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions | |
| 466938241 | cholesterol | amphipathic lipid that is a major component of animal cell membranes |
