A double membrane composed of lipids and
proteins. Present both in plant and animal cells.
Provides shape, protects the inner organelles of the
cell and acts as a selectively permeable membrane.
Present only in plant cells and contains a greencoloured pigment known as chlorophyll.
Surrounded by a double membrane, contains grana
and stroma. It is the site of photosynthesis.
It plays a major role in spindle formation in cell
division. Structures are present in pairs. Found only
in animal cells
A small spherical region within the nucleoplasm.
It manufactures rRNA and assembles the
ribosomes.
A network of membranous 3D tubules, present
within the cytoplasm of a cell and continuous with
the nuclear membrane. Forms the skeletal
framework of the cell, involved in the synthesising,
storing and transporting of lipids and carbohydrates.
A network of membranous 3D tubules, present
within the cytoplasm of a cell and continuous with
the nuclear membrane. Contains ribosomes on the
surface. Provide a large surface area for the
synthesis of proteins and glycoproteins.
Membrane-bound, sac-like organelles made of
flattened sacs called cisternae, present within the
cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cells. It is mainly
involved in the modification and secretion of
proteins and lipids. Forms lysosomes.
An oval-shaped, double membrane-bound organelle,
also called as the “Powerhouse of The Cell”. The
inner membrane folds into cristae and the space in
between is the matrix. It is the main site of cellular
aerobic respiration and also involved in storing
energy in the form of ATP molecules.
Non-membrane organelles, found floating freely in
the cell’s cytoplasm or embedded within the
endoplasmic reticulum. Contains two subunits and
are either 80S or 70S. Involved in the synthesis of
proteins.
A jelly-like substance, which consists of water,
dissolved nutrients and waste products of the cell.
Responsible for the cell’s metabolic activities.
Rigid, tough structure found only in plants. Made
of cellulose forming a matrix. The middle lamella
joins cells and allows cell communication. It
provides mechanical strength to individual cells
and the plant itself, and allows water movement.
The largest, double membrane-bound organelles,
which contains all the cell’s genetic information.
Surrounded by the nuclear membrane containing
nuclear pores. Controls the activity of the cell,
helps in cell division and controls the hereditary
characters.
A membrane-bound (tonoplast membrane), fluidfilled organelle found within the cytoplasm.
Provides shape and rigidity to the plant cell and
may act as a temporary food store.
A membrane-bound cellular organelle present in
the cytoplasm, which contains a reducing enzyme.
Involved in the catabolism of long-chain fatty
acids and hydrogen peroxide.
A tiny, circular-shaped, single membrane-bound
organelles, filled with digestive enzymes known as
lysozymes. Helps in the removal of wastes and
digests dead and damaged organelles and cells
(autolysis).
