Cell Parts And Functions

Front 1

Nucleus

Back 1

The nucleus directs all activities of the cell including reproduction.

Front 2

Nucleolus

Back 2

The nucleolus produces ribosomes.

Front 3

Mitochondria

Back 3

Most of the cell's energy is produced within these rod-shaped organelles.

Front 4

Vacuole

Back 4

Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole. The sac within the cytoplasm stores water, food, waste products, and other materials./ Some animal cells have vacuoles that store food, water, waste, and other materials.

Front 5

Cytoplasm

Back 5

The cytoplasm includes a gel-like fluid in which many different organelles are found.

Front 6

Cytoskeleton

Back 6

The cytoskeleton helps to maintain the cell's shape.

Front 7

Golgi Complex

Back 7

The golgi bodies recieve materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts pf the cell. They also release materials outside the cell.

Front 8

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum/Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Back 8

This network of passageways carries materials form one part of the cell to another.

Front 9

Chloroplast

Back 9

These organelles capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.

Front 10

Cell Wall

Back 10

In a plant cell, a stiff wall surrounds the membrane, giving the cell a rigid, boxlike shape.

Front 11

Cell Membrane

Back 11

Since an animal cell does not have a cell wall, the cell membrane forms a barrier between the cytoplasm and the environment outside the cell.

Front 12

Chromatin

Back 12

Contains DNA.

Front 13

Lysosome

Back 13

These small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts.

Front 14

Ribosomes

Back 14

These small strcutures function as factories to produce proteins. Ribosomes may be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, or they may be floating the cytoplasm.
