Study
Peroxisome
A membrane-bound organelle involved in the metabolism of fatty acids, ethanol, and other metabolic processes, often containing enzymes that produce and degrade hydrogen peroxide.
Plasma membrane
A semi-permeable barrier that separates the interior of a cell from its external environment, regulating the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
Endomembrane system
A network of membranes within a eukaryotic cell that includes the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, and the plasma membrane, working together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins.
Cell nucleus
The part of a cell that contains the majority of its genetic material, including the chromosomes and DNA.
Plant cell
A type of eukaryotic cell found in plants.
Mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria)
An organelle responsible for energy production in the cell through cellular respiration.
Large central vacuole
A membrane-bound organelle found in plant cells, serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, and maintaining turgor pressure.
Ribosomes
The cellular structure involved in protein synthesis.
Cell wall
A rigid layer surrounding the cell membrane, providing structural support and protection in plant cells.
Chloroplast
An organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll for capturing light energy.
Cell surface membrane
A biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment.
Cytoplasm
The jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of a cell, where organelles are suspended.
Nucleus
The central organelle that contains the genetic material (DNA) of the cell.
Vacuole
A membrane-bound organelle found in plant cells, involved in storage, digestion, and waste removal.
