cell wall | a rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants |
cell membrane | controls which substances pass into and out of a cell |
nucleus | the cell's control center that directs all of the cell's activities |
organelles | tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cells |
ribosomes | small grain-shaped organelles that produce proteins |
cytoplasm | gel-like substance that contains organelles |
