Plant Cell

Front 1

endoplasmic reticulum

Back 1

a folded organelle that makes proteins

Front 2

Golgi apparatus

Back 2

a folded organelle that combines proteins made by the endoplasmic reticulum and delivers them to the rest of the cell and outside cell

Front 3

mitochondria

Back 3

the powerhouse of the cell. these organelles break down food and release their stored energy. the cell uses this energy to fuel all of its activities. mitochondria are surrounded by a membrane.

Front 4

vacuole

Back 4

a large sac like organelle that stores excess food,waste and other substances. each vacuole is surrounded by a membrane

Front 5

cytoplasm

Back 5

jelly like material that fills the cell and surrounds the organelle. food and oxygen move through the cytoplasm to the organelle

Front 6

chloroplasts

Back 6

membrane bound organelles that contain a green substance (pigment) called chlorophyll. in a process called photosynthesis.

Front 7

photosynthesis

Back 7

chlorophyll uses the suns energy to convert carbon dioxide and water in to sugar.

Front 8

nucleus

Back 8

a large organelle that is easy to see under magnification. it controls the activities of the cell such as growth

Front 9

cell wall

Back 9

found in plant cells but not animal cells. the ridge structure that surroundeds the cell membrane. it provides the cell with strength and support. materials pass in or out of the cell through pores in the cell wall

Front 10

cell membrane

Back 10

the thin covering that holds the cytoplasm and the organelles inside the cell and controls the passage of materials in or out of the cell

Front 11

ribosomes

Back 11

tiny organelles that help make proteins. there are many of these organelles in the cytoplasm
