A | B |
Nucleus | Control center of the cell |
Nucleus | Ribosomes are formed here |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | connected to the nuclear envelope; produces proteins for export; studded with ribosomes |
Nuclear Envelope | Membrane that surrounds and protects the NUCLEUS |
Ribosomes | produce proteins, can be free or attached |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | detoxifies and produces cell membrane components |
Golgi Apparatus | Collects, Packages and Modifies cell products |
Cell Membrane | Membrane that surrounds and protects the entire cell |
Cytoplasm | The jelly-like interior of the cell |
Transport Vesicle | Small membrane-bound spheres which move cell products around inside the cell |
Cilia | hair-like projections on the outside of the cell membrane; movement |
Flagella | whip-like tail on the outisde of the cell; movement |
Mitochondria | converts sugars into cell-energy (ATP); in both animal and plant cells |
Chloroplast | transfers the energy from the sun into high-energy sugars (food) |
Cytoskeleton | provides shape and structure to the cell; made up of microtubules, microfilaments & intermediate filaments |
Vacuole | stores water and cell products; larger in plants than in animals |
Lysosome | digests and recycles food, worn-out organelles and invaders; contains digestive enzymes. |
Centriole | involved in cell division; only in animal cells |
Chromatin | DNA + protein fibers; located in the nucleus |
