  •  English    16     Public
    animal and plant cell organelles
  •   Study   Slideshow
  • a thin, semi-permeable layer that surrounds the cell and lets materials pass in and out of the cell
    cell membrane
  •  15
  • an organelle that stores food and waste and digests old cell parts
    vacuole
  •  15
  • this control center controls all cell functions
    nucleus
  •  15
  • this is an organelle that is found inside the nucleus
    nucleolus
  •  15
  • this outer boundary (only on a plant cell) gives plants their shape
    cell wall
  •  15
  • this is a membrane that surrounds the nucleus
    nuclear membrane
  •  15
  • this plant-cell organelle is where photosynthesis occurs (creating food for the plant)
    chloroplast
  •  15
  • this organelle turns stored sugar into energy through a process called cellular respiration
    mitochondria
  •  15
  • the blueprints for the cell (the DNA / genetic material)
    chromosomes
  •  15
  • jelly-like substance that organelles swim in
    cytoplasm
  •  15
  • this cell part helps with cell division
    centrosome
  •  15
  • this organelle transports material through the cell and has ribosomes attached to it
    rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
  •  15
  • this organelle transports material through the cell (and doesn't have ribosomes attached to it)
    smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
  •  15
  • these organelles produce proteins
    ribosomes
  •  15
  • this organelle packages protein to be shipped from the cell
    Golgi Bodies
  •  15
  • The name for a type of cell that has a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
    eukaryote (eukaryotic)
