Parts Definition

A space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed

Vacuoles by a membrane and typically containing fluid.

Are nonmotile finger-like protrusions from the apical

Microvilli surface of epithelial cells that function to increase the cell
surface area and the efficiency of absorption.
Are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the
Centrioles cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.

Series of connected flattened sacs, part of a continuous

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic
cells, that plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins.
A usually round part of most cells that is enclosed in a
Nucleus double membrane, controls the activities of the cell, and
contains the chromosomes.
An area inside the nucleus of a cell that is made up of RNA
Nucleolus and proteins and is where ribosomes are made.

The semifluid substance of a cell that is external to the

Cytoplasm nuclear membrane and internal to the cellular membrane.

A stack of small flat sacs formed by membranes inside the

Golgi Apparatus cell's cytoplasm (gel-like fluid).
A microscopic membrane of lipids and proteins which
Plasma Membrane forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell or
encloses a vacuole, and regulates the passage of molecules
in and out of the cytoplasm.

An organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells

Lysosome containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane

Meshwork of fine disklike tubular membrane vesicles, part

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
Mitochondria
of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm
of eukaryotic cells
Are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion,
singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed
to power the cell's biochemical reactions.

A minute particle consisting of RNA and associated

Ribosome proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living
cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to
synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
