|
Chromatin
|
The thin strands floating directly ahead in the nucleus. Containing genetic material, the instructions for directing the cell's functions. RNA is the copy of genes.
|
|
|
Nucleolus
|
A Nucleolus is where ribosomes are made.
|
|
|
Nuclear Envelope
|
The Nuclear Envelope is what surrounds the Nucleus. The Nuclear Envelope protects the Nucleus. Materials pass in and out through the pores.
|
|
|
Cell Wall
|
The Cell Wall is a rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. A plant's cell wall helps to protect and support the cell.
|
|
|
Cell Membrane
|
The next barrier after the Cell Wall is the Cell Membrane. All cells have a Cell Membrane. The Cell Membrane controls what substances come into and out of the cell.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
The Mitochondria is a rod-shaped structure. Mitochondria are know as the "power house" of the cell, because they convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions.
|
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
The Endoplasmic Reticulum's passageways carry proteins and other materials from one part of te cell to another.
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Ribosomes function as factories to produce proteins. Found on endoplasmic reticulum.
|
|
|
Golgi Bodies
|
The Golgi Bodies receive proteins and other newly formed materials from the Endoplasmic Reticulum, package them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell.
|
|
|
Chloroplasts
|
Chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.
|
|
|
Vacuoles
|
Vacuoles are the storage areas of cells. The Vacuoles are water-filled sacs. Food, waste and water. Plant cells have one Large one.
|
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Lysosomes are small, round structures containing chemicals that break down certain materials in the cell.
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
The Nucleus directs all of the cell's activities, including reproduction.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Includes a gel-like fluid in which many different organelles are found.
|
|
|
Organelle
|
tiny structure that has a particular function.
|
