Is a multicellular and has nucleus
Eukaryotic
Is unicellular and does not have nucleus
Prokaryotic
Control center of the cell
Nucleus
Creates rRNA to make ribosomes
Nucleulus
Powerhouse of the cells. Where respiration happens; production of energy (ATP)
Mitchondria
Has ribosomes. Transports protein through vesicles
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Where protein production/synthesis happens
Ribosomes
Produces lipids, hormones and cholesterol. Breaks down toxins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Also known as golgi Apparatus or golgi complex. It modifies protein and add lipids & carbs
Golgi Body
Scavenger of the cells; suicidal bag. Destroys pathogens
Lysosomes
Detoxify harmful substances
Perixosomes
Jelly like fluid that holds organelles together
Cyroplasm
Maintains shape and structural support
Cytoskeleton
Largest and serves as structural support and transportation
Microtubules
Smallest and serves as contraction and elongation
Microfilaments
Mechanical support
Intermediate filaments
Production of spindle fiber in mitotic phase
Centriole
Responsible for the in and out of molecules
Call membrane
Stores nutrients and fluids
Vacuole
Photosynthesis happens
Chloroplast
Green pigment in chloroplast
Chlorophyll
It is only foumd in plant cell
