Science -Cells

Front 1

Nucleus

Back 1

Contains cells's genetic material- chemical code for making all the molecules of a cell

Front 2

Nucleolus

Back 2

Main function is to form ribosomes

Front 3

Cell membrane

Back 3

Protects the inside of a cell from the environment outside of the cell- regulates movement of substances into and out of a cell

Front 4

Cell wall

Back 4

Provides shape,protection, and support

Front 5

Flagellum

Back 5

Movement

Front 6

Cillium

Back 6

Movement

Front 7

Cytoskeleton

Back 7

Thick web that plays a role in muscle contraction, cell division, cell movement and maintenance of cell shape

Front 8

Cytoplasm

Back 8

Thick fluid made mostly of water

Front 9

Chromosomes

Back 9

Long chains of DNA that are coiled into structures

Front 10

Ribosomes

Back 10

Is not surrounded by a membrane and is found in all cells

Front 11

Mitochondrion

Back 11

Transforms the unusable energy in food molecules , into a form of usable energy -power plants of a cell

Front 12

Chloroplast

Back 12

Uses light energy to make food -a type of sugar- from water and carbon dioxide

Front 13

Golgi Apparatus

Back 13

Sorts and ships molecules, modifies, stores and directs the movement of molecules made in the ER

Front 14

Endoplasmic reticulum

Back 14

Smooth- makes lipids and gets rid of chemicals and poisons
Rough-makes and modifies proteins

Front 15

Vesicle

Back 15

Made of membranes, Transports or carries molecules throughout the cytoplasm

Front 16

Vacuoles

Back 16

Can contain food molecules, water, or waste products

Front 17

Lysosome

Back 17

Store digestive enzymes

Front 18

Central vacuole

Back 18

Stores water and other molecules important for a plant cell
