Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Cytoplasm | gel-like material in the region outside the nucleous |
| Mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell; where glucose (food) and 02 is turned into energy (E) |
| Golgi Bodies | packages and secretes chemicals needed by the cell |
| Centriole | controls the cell during cell division |
| Nucleus | control center for the cell |
| Nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
| Cell Membrane | holds the cell together; acts as a gate or/a fence |
| Vacuole | storage for food, water and/or wastes (these are very large in plants) |
| Cell wall | rigid outer surface that protects and supports plant cells |
| Chloroplast | place where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells |
| Lysosome | holds strong digestive chemicals used to break down materials OR kills the cell |
| Chromatin/Chromosomes | contains the genes (DNA), carries information about the cell. During cell division the invisible chromatin winds up to become the visible chromosomes |
| Nucleoplasm | gel-like material in the region inside the nucleus |
| Ribosomes | place where proteins are made |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | has "canals" that acts as a "messenger system" to connnect the nucleus with all parts of the cell |
