Mitochondria - Site of aerobic respiration., Ribosomes - Found in the cytoplasm, on the surface of the RER and in the mitochondrion. Site of protein synthesis. 80S in eukaryotes, Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum - Makes & stores lipids and carbohydrates, Rough endoplasmic reticulum - Coated in ribosomes to make proteins, Golgi body /apparatus - Modifies & packages proteins into vesicles and lysosomes, Vesicles - Small spherical membrane bound sacs with fluid inside that can carry any molecules., Lysosomes - A type of vesicle that specifically carries hydrolytic enzymes / lysozymes, Cilia - Hair like structures usually used to waft substances along, Microvilli - Tiny folds in the cell membrane to increase surface area e.g. to absorb nutrients in the small intestine, Cell surface membrane - Made of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded​. Selectively permeable​ to control movement of material in and out of cell, Cytoplasm - Maintains cell shape and stores chemicals needed by the cell for reactions., Nucleus - Surrounded by a nuclear envelope containing nuclear pores. Contains chromatin (DNA) , Nucleolus - Dense spherical structure in the middle of the nucleus, makes RNA and ribosomes, Flagella - Similar to cilia but larger and usually used to move the cell,
