Nucleolus
|
Ribosomes are made there and its found inside the nucleus
|
|
Cell Wall
|
A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants. It offers support and protection. It's made of a tough, yet flexible material called cellulose.
|
|
Chloroplast
|
Found only in plant cells. Captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell (photosynthesis). Gives plants their green color because it contains chlorophyll.
|
|
Nucleus
|
Cell's control center. It directs all of the cell's actions. It also has a membrane. Contains the chromosomes.
*Brain |
|
Lysosomes
|
Small round structures that contain chemicals/enzymes that break down large food particles into smaller ones. Its also breaks down old cell parts.
*Clean-up Crew/Waste Management |
|
Mitochondria
|
Rod-shaped, produces most of the energy through a process called cellular respiration that the cell needs to carry out it's functions.
*Powerhouse |
|
Chromatin
|
Thin strands of dna found in the nucleus.
|
|
Ribosomes
|
They make proteins for the cell which is used for growth and repair. They are small and can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free floating in the cytoplasm.
*Factories |
|
Cell Membrane
|
It controls what comes in/out of a cell. Offers protection to all cells.
*Gatekeeper |
|
Golgi bodies
|
Receives proteins and other material from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and sends them to other parts of the cell.
*Mailroom or UPS or FedEx |
|
Organelles
|
Tiny cell structures, each having different functions. Means "little organs".
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
The jelly-like material that all organelles are floating (suspended) in.
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Maze of passageways, carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
*Highway |
|
Vacuoles
|
Stores food, water, waste products, or other materials. Plant cells have one large one, and animal cells have lots of small ones.
*Storage |
|
Chromosomes |
Condensed form of chromatin, found in the nucleus and contains your DNA. |
