Cells
By Joseph Blockus
Plasma or Cell Membrane
All cells are contained by a cell membrane that keeps the pieces inside.
Cell Wall
A rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria
Cytoplasm
The fluid that fills a cell.
Nucleus
The cell nucleus acts like the brain of the cell. It helps control eating, movement, and reproduction.
Nulcear Membrane
A nuclear membrane, also known as the nuclear envelope. is the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleus in eukaryotic cells
Nucleolus
The nucleolus is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
Centrioles
They are there to help the cell when it comes time to divide
Chromatin
Complex of macromolecules found in cells
Ribosomes
Protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell
Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus gathers simple molecules and combines them to make molecules that are more complex.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A manufacturing and packaging system
Mitchondria
known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.
Chloroplast
The food producers of the cell
Lysosomes
The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things.
Peroxisomes
They have a single membrane that contains digestive enzymes for breaking down toxic materials in the cell.
Vacuole
Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
Cytoskeleton
A network of fibers composed of proteins contained within a cell's Cytoplast
