|
Controls most cellular activities; contains DNA
|
Nucleus
|
|
|
Strands of DNA which contain the genetic code of the cell
|
Chromosomes
|
|
|
Dark, round structure in the nucleus which produces ribosomes
|
Nucleolus
|
|
|
A structure which surrounds the cytoplasm and allows necessary materials to enter and leave the cell
|
Cell Membrane
(Plasma Membrane) |
|
|
Found mainly in plant cells; composed of cellulose; protects and supports plant cells
|
Cell Wall
|
|
|
all the gell-like material that fills the cell in which the organelles are suspended
|
Cytoplasm
|
|
|
a group of folded membranes which form a network for conducting materials throughout the cell; the ER attaches to the nuclear membrane and cell membrane and transports proteins
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
|
|
located on the ER and in cytoplasm; produce proteins
|
Ribosomes
|
|
|
packages and transports proteins and lipids from the ER and transports them to the cell membrane and other cell organelles
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
|
|
round organelles which contain protein-digesting enzymes; they digest worn out cell parts, food particles, bacteria, and viruses
|
lysosomes
|
|
|
store food, water, and wastes
|
vacuoles
|
|
|
"powerhouses of the cell," structures in which food molecules are broken down to release energy
|
mitochondria
|
|
|
some are storehouses and others are chemical factories
|
Plastids
|
|
|
chemical factories in plant cells which produce food
|
chloroplasts
|
|
|
plastids which store starch
|
leucoplasts
|
|
|
thin, hollow cylinders made of proteins, help make up the cytoskeleton
|
microtubules
|
|
|
thin, solid protein fibers, help make up the cytoskeleton
|
microfilaments
|
|
|
function in cell reproduction
|
centrioles
|
|
|
a group of cells which function together
|
tissue
|
|
|
groups of two or more tissues that function together
|
organ
|
|
|
a group of organs working together
|
organ system
|
