Nucleoplasm
|
A protein rich substance in the nucleus
|
|
|
Vacuoles
|
Storage tanks for food and waste.
|
|
|
Chromosomes
|
Directs all activity of the cell for growth and production. It is made up of two nucleic acids (RNA & DNA)
|
|
|
Nucleolus
|
It is referred to as the little nucleus. It is the site of ribosome production.
|
|
|
Endoplasmic reticulum
|
Transportation center of the cell. Transports protein. It is the subway system of the cell.
|
|
|
Golgi Bodies or Golgi Apparatus
|
Packages proteins for transport out of the cell. It is also for storage.
|
|
|
Cell wall
|
(This is only in a plant cell) It is made of cellulose, which is a non-living material.
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Protein factory of the cell. This is where proteins are produced.
|
|
|
Chloroplasts
|
Green structures used to capture energy from the sun. It also helps to make food for the plant.

|
|
|
Endoplasmic reticulum
|
Transportation center of the cell. Transports protein. It is the subway system of the cell.
|
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Cleanup crew of the cell. It is involved in digestive activities in the cells. Mostly used in animal cells but frequently used in plant cells.
|
|
|
cell membrane
|
Acts like a doorway or barrier. Everything passes into and out of the cell through the cell membrane.
|
|
|
What are organelles?
|
Structures within a cell. They help to build, repair, store and transport materials. They release energy and get rid of wastes.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Jelly-like substance between the nucleus and the cell membrane.
