Inside The Cells

Nucleus - The nucleus is the cell's headquarters, containing


the majority of the cell's DNA and sending out messages to
grow, divide, or die.
Plasma Membrane - The plasma membrane is composed of
phospholipids and contains a range of receptors, which act as
gatekeepers, markers, communicators, and fasteners.
Cytoplasm - The cytoplasm is the interior of the cell,
containing important reactions.
Cytoskeleton - The cytoskeleton is a flexible scaffolding that
helps cells maintain their shape, division, motility, and cell
signaling.
Endoplasmic Reticulum - The ER synthesizes, folds, modifies,
and transports proteins within the cell.
Golgi Apparatus - The Golgi apparatus processes molecules,
allowing them to be used inside or outside the cell.
Mitochondria - Mitochondria convert food into energy, store
calcium, and regulate cell death.
Ribosomes - Ribosomes read RNA and translate it into
proteins, either floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the
ER.
