|
Cell Membrane (Animal) |
Barrier between outside and cytoplasm Thin Layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell Semipermeable; controls what enters and leaves the cell (oxygen, CO2 harmful materials) |
|
|
Cytoplasm (Animal) |
Between the cell membrane and nucleus Clear gel-like fluid Holds organelles |
|
|
Ribosomes (Animal) |
Attached to some surfaces of ER or float in cytoplasm Produce proteins |
|
|
Nucleus (Animal) |
Control Center, directs all cell activities (protein synthesis). Contains DNA in the form of chromosomes. |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Animal) |
maze of passageways or interconnected sacs inside the cell transport materials and produce proteins which are sent to the Golgi body or inserted into cell membrane. |
|
|
Lysosome (Animal) |
Vesicle containing digestive enzymes Where digestion of cell nutrients takes place |
|
|
Mitochondria (Animal) |
Converts energy stored in glucose (sugar) into ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate), a high energy molecule for use by the cell. |
|
|
Vacuole (Animal) |
Storage areas for food being digested and waste material that is leaving the cell. Smaller in animal cells compared to plant cells. |
|
|
Golgi Body (Animal) |
Packages proteins, lipids (fats) and carbohydrates for export from the cell. |
|
|
Cell Wall (Plant) |
Thick rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. Gives plant cell support and structure |
|
|
Chloroplasts (Plant) |
Contain Chlorophyll Photosynthesis takes place here; chlorophyll uses light energy to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas |
|
|
Vacuole |
Large sac filled with fluid, mostly water Takes up most of the cell and helps mantain water balance and shape of cell |
