Cell Parts

Front 1

cell membrane

Back 1

the outer covering of the cell consisting of a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it

Front 2

nucleus

Back 2

the control center of the cell

Front 3

cytoplasm

Back 3

it is the jelly like substance in a cell that contains the cytosol, organelles, and inclusions, nut not including the nucleus

Front 4

vacuole

Back 4

a membrane bound vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell whose function includes intracellular secretion, excretion, storage, and digestion

Front 5

Lysosome

Back 5

organelles containing a large range of digestive enzymes used primarily for digestion and removal of excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria

Front 6

Rough endoplastic reticulum

Back 6

Has ribosomes attached to its surface it is therefore involved in protein synthesis and secretion

Front 7

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Back 7

does not have ribosomes on its surface. it is involved in intracellular transport, such as the transport of the products of the rer to other cell parts like Golgi apparatus

Front 8

Golgi apparatus

Back 8

involved in carbohydrates to proteins, packaging of molecules like proteins into vesicles for secretion, transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysomes

Front 9

chloroplast

Back 9

green; site for photosynthesis

Front 10

Mitochondrion

Back 10

powerhouse of the cell since they act as the site for the production of high energy compounds, which are vital energy source for several cellular processes

Front 11

Cell wall

Back 11

a membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to give cells rigidity, strength, and protection against mechanical stress. It is found in cells of plants, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. Animals and most protest do not have cell walls.
