A | B |
cytoplasm | contains all the cell parts |
organelles | "little organs" each performs its own specific function |
nucleus | control center for the cell |
chromatin | genetic blueprint of the cell |
nucleolus | ribosomes are assembled |
nuclear envelope | encloses the contents of the nucleus, double membrane performed with pores |
ribosomes | proteins are assembled |
endoplasmic reticilum | network of membranes that produceand transport materials |
rough er | proteins are made and transported |
smooth er | lipids are made and transported |
golgi apparatus | packages and distributes materials from ER (proteins and lipids) |
vesicle | sac that contains an organic compound |
mitochondrion | supplies energy (from food) to cell |
peroxisome | contains enzymes to alter dangerous chemicals in cells |
centrioles Animal only | aids in cell division |
lysosome Animal only | cleans up the cell, contains digestive enzymes to rid the cell of unwanted materials |
cytoskeleton | supports and shapes the cell |
flagellum Animal only | long whiplike tail |
cilia | many short flagella |
vacuole | stores water, nutrients, enzymes: variety of functions |
central vacuole plant only | large area in plant cells, keep plant cells rigid, contains water and digestive enzymes |
chloroplast plant only | uses energy from sunlight to make food in the form of sugar |
cell wall palnt only | support around some cells, very porous; contains cellulose |
cell membrane | determines what enters and leaves the cell (selectively permeable) |
