Key Eukaryotic Cell Parts

Building Blocks of proteins. 20 different ones can combine in various ways to form a protein.

• Lysosomes

• Vacuoles

• Amino Acids

• Viruses

These special tiny worker molecules help cells in your body do their jobs. Each one has a specific task, to keep cells and, by extension, the whole organism functioning properly.

• Mitochondria

• Proteins

• mRNA

• Ribosomes

The command center of a cell. It stores and manages the cell's genetic information and helps regulate its activities to ensure everything runs smoothly.

• Cytoplasm

• Membrane

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Nucleus

A special code inside living things' cells contains instructions for their growth, development, and function. It's like the master blueprint or recipe for building and maintaining every living organism.

• DNA

• tRNA

• Cytoskeleton

• Golgi

It's like a courier that takes the instructions from the DNA to the part of the cell where proteins are made. It's crucial in turning genetic information into the proteins our cells and bodies need to function properly.

• Cytoplasm

• Lysosome

• mRNA

• tRNA

It's like a little truck that carries the right building blocks (amino acids) to the construction site (ribosomes) based on the instructions provided by the mRNA. It helps ensure that the proteins are built with the correct sequence of amino acids.

• Mitochondria

• Vacuoles

• Virus

• tRNA

The tiny power stations in cells produce ATP through cellular respiration, and ATP is the molecule that carries energy to power various cellular processes. Together, they ensure that cells have the energy to function and perform essential tasks.

• Proteins

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

The gel-like region within a cell houses organelles and provides a medium for various cellular activities. It is essential for the overall functioning and maintenance of the cell.

• Cytoskeleton

• Lysosome

• Golgi

• Cytoplasm

A network of protein filaments. This structure provides support and shape and helps in the movement of organelles within the cell.

• Cytoskeleton

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Amino Acids

• Membrane

The highway system of the cell. It plays a crucial role in building, folding, modifying, and transporting proteins.

• Ribosome

• DNA

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Nucleus
