1. organelles little cell structures that have specific functions and are found in Eukaryotes
2. cell membrane cells security system, surrounds and protects the cell, controls what enters and exits
the cell
3. cytoplasm gel-like substance inside the cell, where cell processes (chemical reactions) occur,
80% water
4. cell wall tough structure that surrounds and protects plant cells, gives cells shape, made of
cellulose
5. nucleus control center of the cell, contains directions for the entire cell, DNA is found here,
surrounded by a nuclear membrane
6. cholorplast green organelle, in plant cells, photosynthesis, captures energy from the sun to
make glucose
7. mitochondria cell energy dam, stores and releases cell's energy, "powerhouse"
8. ribosomes protein factories, make proteins, some float freely in the cytoplasm and others are
attached to the ER
9. endoplasmic cell's railroad track, moves material around in the cell, smooth-no ribosomes,
reticulum rough-has ribosomes
10. golgi body cell's post office, sorts and packages proteins into vesicles, vesicles deliver sub-
stances in the cell and also attach to the cell membrane to release materials to the
outside
11. nucleolus manufactors the proteins that make up the ribosomes, found in the nucleus
12. lysosome cell's landfill, digest food molecules, cell wastes, and worn out cell parts
13. vacuole temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plan cells (vacuum stores
dirt-like vacuole)
