| This structure surrounds and protects the animal cell and is semi-permeable. | cell membrane |
| Allows some things to pass through while keeping other things out. | semi-permeable |
| The control center of the cell. Where DNA is copied | nucleus |
| Stores materials that will be used to make ribosomes | nucleolus |
| A cell that does NOT have a nucleus. | prokaryote |
| A cell that DOES have a nucleus | eukaryote |
| tiny organs or structures that perform specific functions within the cell | organelle |
| A gel like fluid within the cell that holds the organelles in place. | cytoplasm |
| a rigid structure that gives support to a PLANT cell. The outer most boundary of a PLANT cell! | cell wall |
| a web of proteins that acts as both a muscle and a skeleton to keep the cell's membrane from collapsing and to help the cell move. | cytoskeleton |
| A protective boundary that surrounds the nucleus and allows some materials to pass through while keeping other things out! | nuclear membrane |
| are responsible for making proteins | ribosomes |
| The transportation system within the cell. | Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
| The power plant of the cell, this structure releases energy for the cell to use. | mitochondria |
| this structure is found only in plant cells and is where photosynthesis takes place. | chloroplast |
| packages proteins to exit the cell, "the garbage man" | golgi body |
| storage compartment for the cell | vacuole |
| uses enzymes to digest dead or dying cells | lysosome |
| What structures can be found in plant cells, but NOT in animal cells? | cell wall and chloroplast |
