Cell Membrane (P/A)
|
thin strcuture, surrounds cells
-protects what's inside -helps support cell -regulates flow of material into/out of cell |
4

|
|
Cell Wall (P)
|
only plant has it
-stiff, supports cell -made up of cellulose (example: bark of a tree, stem of a plant) |

|
Nucleus (P/A)
|
governs the cells
-control center where DNA, RNA is stored |
2
(library, brain) |
|
|
Nuclear Membrane (P/A)
|
an 'envelope' which surrounds nucleus
-allows certain material to exit, enter nucleus |
