cell wall
|
layer of nonliving material, only in plant cells, protects the cell, tough
|
|
|
cell membrane
|
located inside the cell wall. present in all cells. lets food, oxygen in and harmful waste out.
|
|
|
nuclear envelope
|
protects the nucleus.
|
|
|
chromatin
|
thin strands floating ahead in the nucleus.directs the cell.
|
|
|
nucleolus
|
It makes ribosomes. It is inside the nucleus
|
|
|
mitocondria
|
A rod like shaped structure. The powerhouses of the cell. converts energy in food
|
|
|
endoplasmic reticulum
|
The endoplasmic reticulum is also known as the ER. It is maze of passageways. the passageways carry protein from one part of the cell to the other part of the cell
|
|
|
ribosomes
|
Some are attached to surfaces of the ER. Ribosomes float in cytoplasm. They are small, grainlike bodies. They produce proteins. proteins then move to the golgi body
|
|
|
golgi body
|
flattenedsacs and tubes. It can be thought of as the cell's mail room. receives protein floating in the cytoplasm and distribues them throughout the cell.
|
|
|
chloroplast
|
large green structures floating in the cytoplasm of plant cells and ONLY plant cells. They are the main cause of photosynthesis.
|
|
|
vacuoles
|
like a large, water-filled sac. the vacuoles floats in the cytoplasm.They are the storage areas of cells, almost like a trash can. not present in some animal cells. It stores food and other materials.It also stores waste products
|
|
|
lysosomes
|
Quite small , round structures containing chemicals that break down materials in the cell. They can be thought of as the "clean up crew" in the cell
|
|
|
organelle
|
