Nucleus
#NAME?
Nuclear membrane/envelope
Functions: surrounds nucleus and controls what goes in and out of the nucleus
Cells: Eukaryotic plant and animal cells
Nucleolus
Functions: Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes; Made of DNA and RNA; Produces proteins by using DNA as a blueprint
Cells: Plant and Animal Cells(Eukaryotic Cells)
nuclear pores
Functions: holes in the nuclear membrane/envelope that allow materials to pass in and out of the nucleus; Safeguards the DNA
Cells: Eukaryotic/ Plant and Animal Cells
Chromatin
Functions: Threads; Packs DNA inside nucleus and protects it. Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones(any of a group of basic proteins)
Cells: Eukaryotic
Golgi Body (Apparatus)
Functions: Processes proteins and transports them; responsible for the transportation, modification, and packaging of proteins and lipids
Cells: Eukaryotic
Smooth ER
Functions: That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes making it smooth; Makes and stores lipids, and removes toxic material like metabolic wastes and drugs
Cells: Eukaryotic
cell wall
Functions: A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. Provides protection of harmful bacteria; makes up shape of cell
Cells: Plants and Prokaryotic Cells
Rough ER
Functions: A network of interconnected membranous sacs in a eukaryotic cell's cytoplasm; covered with ribosomes that make membrane proteins and secretory proteins. Create proteins and lipids
Cells: Eukaryotic
Vesicle
Functions: Small membrane-bound sac. stores and transports substances to and from one cell to another and from one part of a cell to another.
Cells: Eukaryotic ?
Ribosomes
Functions: Makes proteins and are found all around the cell like in loose cytoplasm
Cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Vacuoles
Functions:storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth. storage of substances; Store harmful materials and wastes. Store water as well which helps maintain the pressure of the cell
Cells: Mainly Plant cells but rarely in Animal cells
Mitochondria
Functions: Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production; breaks down nutrients to form energy
Cells: Eukaryotic
Lysosomes
Functions :Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts; An organelle containing digestive enzymes; stomach of cells
Cells: Eukaryotic
Chloroplast
Functions: An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs, Green in plant cells; Contains chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight and use it with water to
Cells: Plants cell and Eukaryotic algae
cell membrane
Functions: A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Centrioles
Functions: Cell organelle that aids in cell division
Cells: animal cells only
Cytoskeleton
Functions: A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement
Cells: Eukaryotic
Cytoplasm
Function: A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended; contains molecules such as enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity.
Cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
