Introduction to Eukaryotic Organelles definitions Flashcards

Structures within eukaryotic cells, often membrane-bound, performing specific functions.

Organelles in animal cells containing enzymes for digestion and waste processing.

Plant cell organelles where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Rigid outer layer in plant cells providing structural support and protection.

Non-membranous organelles responsible for protein synthesis through translation.

Process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins from amino acids using mRNA templates.

Gel-like substance inside cells where organelles are suspended and cellular processes occur.

Membrane network with ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis and processing.

Membrane network without ribosomes, involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

Organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use.

Organelles containing enzymes for breaking down fatty acids and detoxifying harmful substances.

Organelles in both plant and animal cells where cellular respiration and energy production occur.

Network of membranes within a cell, involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport.

Network of protein filaments providing structural support and facilitating cell movement.

Structures connecting cells, facilitating communication and maintaining tissue integrity.
