Cell membrane
(animals and plants) |
surrounds and wraps around the cell to secure its contents, gives the cell shape, and controls what moves in and out of the cell
|
|
Cytoplasm
(animals and plants) |
clear jellylike fluid that is found throughout the cell(mostly water but also has other chemicals) parts float in it
|
|
Nucleus
(animals and plants) |
cell part that controls most of cell's activities; found near the center of the cell
|
|
Nuclear Membrane
(animals and plants) |
structure that surrounds the nucleus and seperates it from the rest of the cell. Allows materials to move in and out of nucleus
|
|
Nucleolus
(animal and plant) |
found in the nucleus and helps make ribosomes
|
|
Mitochondria
(animal and plant) |
known as the "powerrhouse" of the cell because it produces energy; found in the cytoplasm
|
|
Ribosomes
(animals and plants) |
site inside of cell where protiens are produces; can be free floating in cytoplam or attached to endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
|
|
Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum
(animals and plants) |
series of folded membranes extending from nucleus to cell membrane. Matierials (lipids) processed and moved around inside of the cell. Lacks ribosomes.
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
(animals and plants) |
series of folded membranes extending from nucleus to cell membrane. Matierials (protiens) processed and moved around inside of the cell. Ribosomes are attached to it.
|
|
Golgi body
(animals and plants) |
stacked flattened membranes that sort protiens and other substances and package and ship them out (vesicles)
|
|
Vacuoles
(animal only) |
a liquid filled space that stores food, water, minerals, and even wastes.
|
|
Lysosomes
(animal only) |
small sacs that contain digestive enzymes to break down harmful chemicals, wastes, and worn out cell parts.
|
|
Cytoskeleton
(animal only) |
framework made up of thin hollow tubes of protien and fibers that help the cell maintain or change its shape
|
|
Vacuoles
(plants only) |
a liquid filled space that stores food, water, minerals, and wastes.It takes up a large portion of the cell. Fluid inside helps support the plant.
|
|
Chloroplasts
(plants only) |
contain green pigment, chlorophyll, that traps energy from the sun and uses it to make food.
|
|
Cell Wall
(plants only) |
thick tough rigid outercovering outside the cell membrane. It protects and supports the cell. Composed of cellilose fibers.
