A | B |
nucleus | control center for cell activities (metabolism, reproduction) |
endoplasmic reticulum | pathways that allow for transport of materials through cell |
ribosomes | sites of protein synthesis |
golgi bodies (golgi apparatus) | stacks of flattened membrane involved in packaging cell products |
lysosomes | small sacs filled with digestive enzymes |
mitochondria | double-membraned organelles that produce energy through cell respiration |
centrioles | pair of cylindrical rings of tubules involved in animal cell division |
cilia | hairlike projections that move material past the cell |
flagella | long, hair-like projection that moves like a "whip" and makes the cell move |
vacuoles | fluid-filled spaces (contain sap in plant cells) |
chloroplast | organelle found only in plants (contains chlorophyll) |
cell wall | rigid wall surrounding cell membrane in plants, fungi, and bacteria |
cell membrane | selectively permeable membrane separating cell from its surroundings |
cytoplasm | watery or gel-like material between cell membrane and nucleus |
nucleolus | very dense portion of the nucleus, which produces ribosomes |
nuclear membrane or envelope | membrane surrounding the nucleus |
chromosomes | genetic material found in nucleus |
pores | openings in nuclear envelope that allow substances to leave nucleus |
microfilaments | solid threads of protein inside cell; allow cell to change shape |
microtubules | hollow tubes of protein that form cilia, flagella, and centrioles |
chromatin threads | found in nucleus; consist mainly of DNA |
cell respiration | breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP |
photosynthesis | producing glucose from carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sun |
cristae | inner membrane of mitochondria |
thylakoids | inner membrane of chloroplasts |
chlorophyll | green pigment found in chloroplasts |
