Animal Cells

These organelles break down the cell's waste products and detoxify poisons.

• mitochondria

• golgi apparatus

• lysosomes and peroxisomes

• cytoplasm

This key organelle holds the cell's genetic material, and dictates which protein the cell produces.

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• plasma membrane

• endoplasmic reticulum

These organelles produce a molecule called ATP which serves as fuel for the cell

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• cytoplasm

• plasma membrane

This organelle often ships proteins to the Gogli apparatus.

• ribosomes

• plasma membrane

• cytoplasm

• endoplasmic reticulum

These little organelles follow instructions from the nucleus and create proteins that the cell needs.

• Golgi apparatus

• ribosomes

• endoplasmic reticulum

• nucleus

This fluid maintains the internal pressure of the cell, and holds many important nutrients

• cytoplasm

• lysosomes and peroxisomes

• ribosomes

• plasma membrane

Like a packaging plant, this organelle puts lipids and proteins in packets (vescicles), and sends them to diffrerent parts of the cell.

• ribosomes

• endoplasmic reticulum

• plasma membrane

• Golgi apparatus

This thin lining controls what molecules enter and leave the cell

• plasma membrane

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• ribosome

Ths organelle contains DNA tightly packed into chromosomes.

• endoplasmic reticululm

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

This network of folds is dotted with ribosomes, which make proteins. It ships these proteins to the cell membrane or to other organelles

• lysosomes and peroxisomes

• endoplasmic reticulum

• Golgi apparatus

• nucleus
