cell organelles

AB
nucleuscontrol center for cell activities (metabolism, reproduction)
endoplasmic reticulumpathways that allow for transport of materials through cell
ribosomessites of protein synthesis
golgi bodies (golgi apparatus)stacks of flattened membrane involved in packaging cell products
lysosomessmall sacs filled with digestive enzymes
mitochondriadouble-membraned organelles that produce energy through cell respiration
centriolespair of cylindrical rings of tubules involved in animal cell division
ciliahairlike projections that move material past the cell
flagellalong, hair-like projection that moves like a "whip" and makes the cell move
vacuolesfluid-filled spaces (contain sap in plant cells)
chloroplastorganelle found only in plants (contains chlorophyll)
cell wallrigid wall surrounding cell membrane in plants, fungi, and bacteria
cell membraneselectively permeable membrane separating cell from its surroundings
cytoplasmwatery or gel-like material between cell membrane and nucleus
nucleolusvery dense portion of the nucleus, which produces ribosomes
nuclear membrane or envelopemembrane surrounding the nucleus
chromosomesgenetic material found in nucleus
poresopenings in nuclear envelope that allow substances to leave nucleus
microfilamentssolid threads of protein inside cell; allow cell to change shape
microtubuleshollow tubes of protein that form cilia, flagella, and centrioles
chromatin threadsfound in nucleus; consist mainly of DNA
cell respirationbreakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP
photosynthesisproducing glucose from carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sun
cristaeinner membrane of mitochondria
thylakoidsinner membrane of chloroplasts
chlorophyllgreen pigment found in chloroplasts
