like.
Cristae - ANSWER:the folds of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion.
Cytoplasm - ANSWER:the protoplasm outside the nucleus of a cell.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid - ANSWER:genetic material of cells located in the nucleus of
the cell that determines all the functions and characteristics of the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum - ANSWER:a complex system of membranes that form a
collection of membrane-bound cavities in a cell.
