|
organelle
|
The smallest structure in cell. They carry function in the cell.
|
|
|
Cell wall
|
A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. A plant's cell wall helps protect and support the cell. In plants cells and in bacteria
|
|
|
cell membrane
|
The cell membrane controls what substance come into and out of the cell. Barrier between cell and its environment
|
|
|
nucleus
|
The chemical structure that directs all the cell's activities.
|
|
|
cytoplasm
|
The region between the cell membrane and the nucleus. Suspends the organelles. Dissolves important chemicals needed for life. A gel-like thing.
|
|
|
mitochondrion
|
Mitochondrion are known as the "powerhouse" of the cell because they convert energy in food
molecules to energy the cell and can use to carry out its functions. Requires oxygen and this is why you breathe |
|
|
endoplasmic reticulum
|
Carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
|
|
|
ribosomes
|
Attached to some surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum are small, grainlike bodies called ribosomes.Ribosomes function as factories to produce proteins. Read RNA instructions and use them to make proteins.
|
|
|
Golgi body
|
The Golgi body receives materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell. They also release materials outside the cell.
|
|
|
chloroplast
|
Only the cells of plants and some other organisms have these green organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. site of photosynthesis which is making food from sunlight and Co2. Oxygen is waste product.
|
|
|
vacuole
|
Water-fiilled sac which stores food,waste and water.
|
|
|
lysosomes
|
Lysosomes break down food and worn down parts of the cell. They contain digestive enzymes.
|
|
|
nuclear envelope
|
The nucleus is surrounded by a membrance called the nucleur envelope. It protects the nucleolus and the chromatin. Materials pass in and put through the pores
|
|
|
chromation
|
They are floating directly ahead in the nucleolus. Contains genetetic material DNA. Contains instructions for running the cell. Instruction=genes. Copies of gene are called RNA
|
|
|
nucleolus
|
This structure is where ribosomes are made.
|
|
|
Parts of the cells
All cells have |
cell membrane
cytoplasm DNA ribosomes |
