Lesson 1: Endomembrane System

Bounded by a nuclear membrane, this organelle contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the hereditary information of the cell.

• RIBOSOME

• GOLGI APPARATUS

• NUCLEUS

• PLASMA MEMBRANE

In the cytoplasm, this organelle assists in the assembly of

amino acids into proteins.

• NUCLEUS

• LYSOSOME

• MITOCHONDRIA

• RIBOSOMES

These vesicles from a Golgi apparatus contain digestive enzymes that break down food, cellular debris, and foreign invaders such as bacteria.

• RIBOSOMES

• CHLOROPLAST

• ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

• LYSOSOMES

Identify the organelle presented in the picture.

• CHLOROPLAST

• MITOCHONDRIA

• GOLGI APPARATUS

• SMOOTH ER

These organelles modify and package proteins and lipids into small, spherically shaped sacs called vesicles that bud from the outside

surface.

This organelle appears as a series of maze-like channels, often closely associated with the nucleus. It is responsible for the production of glycoproteins and the synthesis of lipids and hormones.

• ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

• PEROXISOME

• RIBOSOME

• NUCLEUS

This organelle carries out photosynthesis, the plant process of incorporating energy from sunlight into carbohydrates.
