Brain of the Cell Compound structure at the end of a chromosome Sexually combining cells to create genetically different species Lysosomes break down materials ingested by the cell and also remove old cellular components and replace with newer ones
Peroxisomes are responsible for the creation of hydrogen peroxide within a cell and are used to break down fats into usable molecules

Cytoskeleton

DNA wrapping on proteins Ribosomes

A microscopic tubular structure present in numbers in the cytoplasm of cells, sometimes aggregating to form more complex structures A network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence A minute particle consisting of RNA (Ribonucleic acid) and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells
A small bubble within a cell
