Terms in this set (15)

Vacuoles
Store waste products, nutrients, and water. In plant cells it also store nutrients, keeps cell shape.
Nucleus
DNA is found in the nucleus. controls all cell activities
Cytoplasm
Part of the cell that is outside the nucleus; contains organelles.
Golgi Bodies
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for delivery outside the cell
Lysosome
Contains digestive enzymes necessary for breaking down materials within a cell so they can be reused.
Chloroplast
Use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. Found in plant cells.
Cell Membrane
Surrounds the cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
Mitochondria
Provides energy to cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Proteins are made on the endoplasmic reticulum's ribosomes. They are collected inside the endoplasmic reticulum and transported throughout the cell. Transports and modifies organelles, highway for cell.
Ribosome
Assembles protein machines for the cell
Cytoskeleton
Helps maintain cell shape.
Made of microfilaments and microtubules.
Cell Wall
Thick outer layer in plant cells. Made of the carbohydrate cellulose. It maintains the shape of these cells and creates a protective barrier.
Peroxisomes
Breaks down toxins
Microtubule
part of the cytoskeleton - supports the inner structure
Microfilament
part of the cytoskeleton - supports the outer structure
