|---|---|
| Cell wall: | A rigid layer that surrounds the cell of plants and some other organisms. (Animals don't have cell walls) |
| Cell membrane: | Controls which substances pass into and out of a cell. |
| Nucleus: | Acts as a cells control center, directs all of the cells activities. |
| Nuclear envelope: | The membrane that surrounds the nucleus. |
| Chromatin: | Thin strands of material that fill the nucleus, contains information for directing a cells function. |
| Ribosome: | Small grained shape organelles that produce proteins. |
| Cytoplasm: | Fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus. |
| Mitochondria: | Converts energy stored in food to energy the cell can use to live and function. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum: | An organelle with a network of membranes that produce many substances. |
| Golgi apparatus: | Receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum. Packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or outside of the cell. |
| Vacuole: | Type of sac that stores water, food and other materials needed by the cell. (Bigger in plants/ it's needed for the plant to grow) |
| Chloroplast: | Captures energy from sunlight and changes it to a form of energy cells can use in making food. (Only in plants) |
| Lysosomes: | Sac like organelles, which contain substances that break down large food particles into smaller ones. (Only in animals) |
