What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranes that extends throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is involved in the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and steroids, as well as in the detoxification of harmful substances.

What is a mitochondrion?

Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are responsible for the production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

What is a centriole?

A centriole is a small, cylindrical organelle that is involved in the formation of microtubules, which are essential for cell division and the movement of organelles.

What is simple cuboidal epithelium?

Simple cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that is composed of a single layer of cube-shaped cells. It is found in glands, ducts, and the lining of the kidney tubules.
