Nucleus
|
Directs all of the cells activities including reproduction
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Function as factories to produce proteins. They may be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, or they may float in the cytoplasm
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Is a gel-like fluid in which many different organelles float
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Most of the cells energy is produced here
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Are very small and they contain chemicals that break down food particles
|
|
Vacuole
|
Most plant and some animal cells have vacuoles that store food, water, waste and other materials
|
|
Cell Membrane
|
Protects and regulates what substances enter and leave the cell.
|
|
Golgi Body
|
The Golgi bodies receive materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell.
|
|
Organelle
|
A cell organ
|
|
Cell Wall
|
A tough, flexible layer that surround cells. Located outside of the cell membrane. Protects the cell
|
|
Nuclear Envelope
|
Serves as a physical barrier of the nucleus. Separates the contents of the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
|
|
Chromatin
|
Found inside the nuclear envelope. Packages DNA to a smaller volume to fit in the cell.
|
|
Nucleolus
|
Found within the nucleus. Contains all the DNA of the cell.
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Transports materials to the Golgi Body
|
|
Chloroplast
|
Only found in plant cells. Capture energy from sunlight and transform it into food for the plant. Chloroplasts make plants green.
