Plasma Membrane
|
Semipermeable double layer allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
|
passing between and blocking. |
|
Cytoplasm
|
The jelly like material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.
|
jelly like.
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Organelle with a double membrane, converts the energy stored I Glucose into ATP (energy) for the cell.
|
Glucose into energy.
|
|
Golgi Body
|
It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes, packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell.
|
proteins and carbohydrates.
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Round organelles surrounded by a membrane they contain digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients take place.
|
like a stomach
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.
|
lots of RNA

|
Nucleolus |
An organelle within the nucleus it is where ribosomal RNA is produced. inside the nucleus |
produces something
|
|
Rough ER
|
Covered with Ribosomes that give it a rough appearance transport material through the cell and packages proteins in vesicles.
|
like a ambulance and casting someone's arm.
|
|
Smooth ER |
Involved in the synthesis of lipids, including cholesterol and phospholipids, used in making new cellular membrane. Sometimes makes steroid hormones, transports material through the cell.

Vacuoles
|
Fluid filed membrane surrounded cavities inside a cell.

a pillow for a plant cell
|
|
Cell wall |
A thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell; this layer of cellulose fiber gives the cell most of its support and structure.
