Parts Of A Cell

Front 1

cell wall

Back 1

tough, outer covering that protect plant cells and give it shape

Front 2

cell membrane

Back 2

protective layering that allows water and food to enter and waste out

Front 3

cytoplasm

Back 3

gel-like substance that keeps the organelles in place

Front 4

cytoskeleton

Back 4

thin, hollow tubes that give dells its shape

Front 5

nucleus

Back 5

directs the organelles and is separated from the cytoplasm by the endoplasmic reticulum

Front 6

nucleolus

Back 6

contains the hereditary material of the cell

Front 7

chloroplasts

Back 7

contains chlorophyll, which makes glucose from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide; located only within a plant cell

Front 8

mitochrondria

Back 8

releases the energy from food

Front 9

ribosomes

Back 9

float freely or are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum; makes proteins for the cell

Front 10

golgi bodies

Back 10

stacked, flattened membrane that sort cellular substances and package them into vesicles and vacuoles

Front 11

vesicles

Back 11

deliver cellular substances to areas inside the cell and to the cell membrane to be released outside the cell

Front 12

vacuoles

Back 12

temporary storage area for water, waste, and food

Front 13

lysosomes

Back 13

break down food molecules, wastes, and worn-out cell parts.
