study Flashcards
control all cell activity. contain the genetic material DNA
nucleus
breaks down food and releases energy. It is where Cellular Respiration takes place
mitochondria
jelly like substance that fills the cell . it gives the cell structure and holds the organelles in place
cytoplasm
makes protein for the cell
Ribosomes
Covering that protects and controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell
Cell Membrane
Only found in a plant cell. tough rigid outer covering that protects plant cells and gives it shape.
cell wall
Stores food, water, and waste materials.
Vacuoles
A folded membrane that extends from the nucleus out toward the cell membrane. It helps move around material in the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Only found in a plant cell. Produces the food/glucose for the plant cell through a process called photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll.
Chloroplast
Threadlike structures that give a cell its shape and extra structure. It also helps the cell move.
Cytoskeleton
Makes ribosomes.
Nucleolus
It contains digestive chemicals that help breakdown food molecules, cell wastes, and worn out cell parts.
Lysosome
Packages proteins and other cellular materials into membrane bound vesicles and sends them where they need to go.
Golgi Bodies
