The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus
the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
An endomembrane system where lipids are synthesized, calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down.
the part of the cytoplasm that includes molecules and small particles, such as ribosomes, but not membrane-bound organelles
a small round cell structure that contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones
Granular looking matrix that contains paire centrioles; generates microtubules, and organizes the mitotic spindle in cell division.
A microbody containing enzymes that transfer hydrogen from various substrates to oxygen, producing and then degrading hydrogen peroxide. (Detoxification)
stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Chemically modifies proteins made by the ribosomes attached to its surface, which are then use in the cell membrane or for transport outside the cell
thin outer boundary of a cell that regulates the traffic of chemicals between the cell and its surroundings
the longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
The Phase of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
