Eukaryotic OrganellesStructures within eukaryotic cells, often membrane-bound, performing specific functions.LysosomesOrganelles in animal cells containing enzymes for digestion and waste processing.ChloroplastsPlant cell organelles where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.Cell WallRigid outer layer in plant cells providing structural support and protection.RibosomesNon-membranous organelles responsible for protein synthesis through translation.TranslationProcess by which ribosomes synthesize proteins from amino acids using mRNA templates.CytoplasmGel-like substance inside cells where organelles are suspended and cellular processes occur.Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumMembrane network with ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis and processing.Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumMembrane network without ribosomes, involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.Golgi ApparatusOrganelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use.PeroxisomesOrganelles containing enzymes for breaking down fatty acids and detoxifying harmful substances.MitochondriaOrganelles in both plant and animal cells where cellular respiration and energy production occur.Endomembrane SystemNetwork of membranes within a cell, involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport.CytoskeletonNetwork of protein filaments providing structural support and facilitating cell movement.Cell JunctionsStructures connecting cells, facilitating communication and maintaining tissue integrity.
