Cell wall

A

a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.

Q

Mitochondria / Mitochondrion

A

The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Some cells in some multicellular organisms may, however, lack them (for example, mature mammalian red blood cells).

Q

Golgi complex

A

Golgi Apparatus. A major organelle in most eukaryotic cells is the structure of membrane-bound sacs called the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body, Golgi complex, dictyosome). It acts to process and package the macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell.

Q

Endoplasmic reticulum

A

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.

17
Q

Organ

A

a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans.

18
Q

Organ system

A

There are 11 major organ systems in the human body, which include the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous and endocrine systems. The immune, integumentary, skeletal, muscle and reproductive systems are also part of the human body.

Q

Organism

A

an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.

20
Q

Structure
