- Organelles
- Nucleus
- Large organelle surrounded by a nuclear envelope containing many pores. The nucleus contains chromatin and nucleolus
- Controls Cell's activities and the pores allow substances to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The nucleolus makes ribosomes
- Lysosome: A round organelle surrounded by membrane, no clear internal structure
- Contains digestive enzymes, these are kept separate from cytoplasm by surrounding membrane, used to digest invading cells or to break down worn out components of the cell
- Ribosome
- Very small organelle, either floats free or attached to RER. Made up of proteins and RNA. Not surrounded by membrane
- The site where proteins are made
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
- System of membranes enclosing a fluid-filled space. surface is covered in ribosomes
- Folds and processes proteins that have been made at the ribosomes
- System of membranes enclosing a fluid-filled space. surface is covered in ribosomes
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
- Similar to RER, but with NO ribosomes
- Synthesises and processes lipids

- Vesicle
- Small fluid-filled sac in the cytoplasm, surrounded by membrane
