(1) Nucleolus: a pink sphere inside the nucleus. (2) Nucleus: a large light-blue rounded organelle enclosing the nucleolus. (3) Ribosomes: small dark dots studding the rough endoplasmic reticulum. (4) Peroxisome: a small green bowl-shaped vesicle on the right side of the cell. (5) Rough endoplasmic reticulum: pink flattened membrane sheets studded with ribosome dots, continuous with the nuclear envelope. (6) Golgi apparatus: a stack of yellow curved membrane cisternae below the rough ER. (7) Intermediate filaments: a thin wavy line in the lower cytosol. (8) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: pink branching tubules lacking ribosomes, extending leftward from the rough ER. (9) Mitochondrion: a blue oval organelle with yellow folded inner membranes (cristae) shown in cutaway. (10) Vacuole: a teal bowl-shaped structure at the top. (11) Cytosol: the tan background fluid filling the cell interior. (12) Lysosome: a dark red bowl-shaped vesicle near the top. (13) Centrioles: two yellow barrel-shaped structures arranged perpendicular to each other, upper left of the nucleus. The outer boundary of the cell is shown as a tan plasma membrane enclosing all contents.</span></td> <td class="lt-bio-3965" style="background-color: unset;">Pinocytotic vesicle<br /> <br /> Actin filaments<br /> <br /> Glycogen granules<br /> <br /> Smooth endoplasmic reticulum<br /> <br /> Microtubules<br /> <br /> Ribosomes<br /> <br /> Mitochondrion<br /> <br /> Rough endoplasmic reticulum<br /> <br /> Cytosol</td> </tr> </tbody>
