|---|---|
| Cytoplasm |  Provides support to the internal structures by being a medium for their suspension. Stores many chemicals that are inevitable for life. |
| Nucleus | Regulates all cell activity by controlling the enzymes present. Contains the information for the production of proteins. |
| Cell Wall | The outer layer of a plant cell. It helps It protect its body from foreign objects. Also takes in nutrients for the cell. |
| Cell Membrane | Forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside, so that the chemical environments on the two sides can be different. |
| Vacuoles | Removing unwanted structural debris, isolate materials that might be harmful to the cell, export unwanted substances from within the cell, and enable the cell to change its shape. |
| Vesicles | Transport material in/out or within the cell. Serve as storage. |
| Lysosomes | Contain enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers. Digestive system of a cell. |
| Cytoskeleton | Maintains cell shape, often protects the cell, and enables cellular motion. |
| Cilia/Flagella | Essential for the locomotion of individual organisms. In multicellular organisms, they move fluid or materials past an immobile cell. |
| Centrioles | Only found in animal cells, help in organizing cell division. |
| Ribosomes | All living cells contain __________. Made of RNA and protein. Rough ER contain __________, while Smooth ER do not. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER) | Network of sacs that manufactures, processes, and transports chemical compounds for use inside and outside of the cell. Provide a connection between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. |
| Golgi Apparatus | Distribution and shipping department for cell's chemical products. It modifies proteins and fats built in the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them for export to the outside of the cell. |
| Chloroplasts | Green organelles found only inside plant cells that provide the color and enable it to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. |
| Mitochondria | Are the main power generators in animal cells, converting oxygen and nutrients into energy. |
| Eukaryote | A cell with a nucleus. (Animal cells). |
| Prokaryote | A cell without a nucleus, this involves plant and bacteria cells. |
