AB
OrganelleTiny cell structures that carry out specific functions
Cell WallA rigid layer of nonliving material in plant cells that surrounds the cell and helps to protect and support the cell.
Cell MembraneForms the outside boundary of a cell and controls what substances come into and out of the cell.
Nuclear EnvelopeSurrounds the nucleus and protects it. Materials move into and out of the nucleus through its pores.
LysosomesContain chemicals that break down certain materials in the cell.
CytoplasmA gel-like fluid containing dissolved substances and suspending many different organelles.
NucleolusWhere ribosomes are made.
MitochondriaConvert energy to in food molecules to energy the cell can use.
Endoplasmic rediculumPassageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
RibosomeWhere proteins are produced.
Golgi BodyReceives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.
ChloroplastsCapture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.
VacuolesStorage areas of the cells, they store food or waste.
ChromatinGenetic material containing instructions for directing the cell's functions.
NucleusThe cell's control center, directing all of the cell's activities.
