Cell Structure and Function

An extra layer that goes around plant cells and makes them more sturdy.

Occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells. Takes sunlight, combines it with water and carbon dioxide to make energy.

The energy that is produced in plant and animal cells.

More complex cells with a nucleus and organelles. Most plant and animal cells are examples.

Pigment in plant cells found in chloroplasts that store the sunlight.

Goes around the outside of all cells and regulates what comes in and goes out.

The brain of the cell. Tells all the organelles what to do.

Occurs in all cells in the mitochondria. Takes food, combines it with oxygen to make energy.

What all cells need to survive; made by ribosomes.

Jell-O like substance that fills the cell and cushions what is inside.

Organelle found only in plant cells and turns sunlight into energy.

Organelles that create proteins for the cell to use.

Very simple cells with no nucleus. Bacteria is an example.

Organelle that turns food into energy the cell can use.
