| A | B |
|---|
| Nucleus | The control center of the cell - reference center of the cell |
| Chromosomes | 46 of these are found in the nucleus of a typical human; they are coiled bundles of DNA - instruction booklets |
| Mitochondria | Where energy in the form of ATP is produced - powerplant - found in muscles |
| Ribosomes | Where proteins are made - factories |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | Transport system in the cell - highways and railroads |
| Golgi apparatus | Packages up protein - post office |
| Lysosomes | Special type of vacuole that breaks down large molecules and cell parts - pacman inside the cell |
| Chloroplasts | Where photosynthesis occurs - solar panel |
| Cell membrane | Semi-permeable; it controls what moves in and out of the cell - like a picket fence |
| Cell wall | Protects and supports plant cells - great wall of China |
| Eukaryote | Cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus - You are this! |
| Prokaryote | A cell with no nuclear membrane and few (if any) membrane bound organelles - bacteria |
| Vacuole | Stores wastes, water and food - closet |
| Vesicles (secretory vesicles) | Traveling packages |
| DNA | Deoxyribose nucleic acid |
| Mitosis | A process that produces two daughter cells. |
| Microtubules | Makes up the cytoskeleton. |
| Nucleolus | Found in nucleus and makes ribosomes. |
| Cytosol | Is the liquid within the cell. (Jell-O) |
| Cytoplasm | Is the liquid within the cell plus the organelles. (Jell-O with Fruit) |
| Centrioles (Centrosome) | Produces microtubules. |
| Cytoskeleton | Helps to move the cell and maintain its shape. |
