Internal Structures of Eukaryotic Cells

Found within eukaryotic cells, the nucleus contains the genetic material that determines the entire structure and function of that cell.

Mitochondria are organelles that are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule.

Although they are both eukaryotic cells, there are unique structural differences between animal and plant cells.

The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle that is responsible for the synthesis of lipids and the modification of proteins.

The Golgi apparatus sorts and packages materials before they leave the cell to ensure they arrive at the proper destination.
