Transverse:

1. packages proteins to be incorporated into the plasma membrane, incorporated into lysosomes, or to be exported from the cell.
3. contains genetic material and coils into chromosomes during mitosis.
5. controls the release of energy from foods; forms ATP
6. These can be described as two rod shaped bodies that are located near the nucleus; they are involved in the direct formation of the mitotic spindle.
8. these organelles are found scattered in the cytoplasm; they function in the detoxification of alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etc....
9. These may be found floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to membrane systems like the RER; they function in protein synthesis.
11. These are disperesed throughout the cytoplasm and provide nutrients; they represent cell waste, stored products, etc..
12. These organlles are found scattered throughout the cytoplasm; they are responsible for the digestion of ingested materials and worn out cells.
13. This is the storehouse for genetic information; this directs cellular activities including cell divsion.
14. this is the site of steroid synthesis and lipid metabolism.

Sagittal:

2. this confines cell contents; regulates entry and exit of materials.
4. Transports proteins made on its ribosomes to other sites in the cell; systhesizes membrane lipids.
7. These are projections of the plasma membrane and function in increasing its surface area.
10. This is the storehouse and assembly site for ribosomes.
