# Cell Structure The image shows a labeled diagram of a eukaryotic cell. **Key:** 1. Chromatin - DNA - holds codes for making proteins 2. Nucleolus - makes ribosomes 3. Smooth ER - metabolizes lipids and detoxifies 4. Cytosol - fluid around organelles 5. Lysosome - breaks down waste 6. Mitochondria - aerobic (oxidative) phases of cellular respiration to make ATP 7. Centriole - separates chromosomes during cell division 8. Cilia/microvilli - cilia propel substances across the cell's surface/microvilli - increase surface area for absorption. 9. Microtubules - cytoskeleton - support/structure 10. Golgi apparatus - modify and package proteins 11. Ribosomes - site of protein synthesis 12. Rough ER - synthesizes membrane lipids and modifies proteins 13. Plasma Membrane - semipermeable barrier composed of phospholipids and proteins 14. Nucleus - "control center" because it contains the DNA 15. Nuclear envelope - allows things into and out of the nucleus
