Describe the parts of a cell.

RIBOSOMES: 

A complex of RNA and protein molecules that functions as a site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. It consists of a large and small subunit. In eukaryotic cells, each subunit is assembled in the nucleolus.


GOLGI APPARATUS: 

An organelle in eukaryotic cells consisting of stacks of flat membranous sacs that modify, store and route products of the endoplasmic reticulum and synthesize some products, notable noncellulose carbohydrates. 
This means that the Golgi apparatus is like a factory. Transport vesciles carrying proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus to make modifications. Then they get sorted by what they are made to do and get transported out.


CYTOPLASM: 

The contents of the cell, exclusive of the nucleus and bounded by the plasma membrane. (the stuff inside)


NUCLEUS:

The chromosome containing organelle of a eukaryotic cell.


NUCLEOLUS: 

A specialized structure in the nucleus, consisting of chromatin regions containing ribosomal RNA genes along with robisomal proteins imported from the cytoplasmic site of RNA snythesis and ribosomal subunit assembly


NUCLEAR MEMBRANE:

A nuclear membrane, also known as the nuclear envelope, is the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleus in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear membrane consists of two lipid bilayers; the inner nuclear membrane, and the outer nuclear membrane


CELL MEMBRANE:

The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.


MITOCHONDRIA: 

Organelle in eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of cellular respiration.


ROUGH ER: 

The portion of endoplasmic reticulum that contains ribosomes. They add carbohydrates to proteins, and synthesize new phosolipids.


VACUOLE: 

A membrane-bounded vescile whose function varies in different kinds of cells. 


CELL WALL: 

A protective layer external to the plasma membrane in the cells of plants. Polysaccharides such as cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycan are an important component of cell walls. Animal cells do not have these.


CHLOROPLAST: 

An organelle found in plants and photosynthetic protists that absorbs sunlight and uses it to drive the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.


SMOOTH ER: 

The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes.
