cell structures

study flash cards science

cytoplasm

The yellow jelly-like substance in the animal cell. everything between the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane.

lysosome

the yellow bigger circles inside the animal cell. sac filled with digestive chemicals

mitochondria

the red bean like shape inside the animal cell. converts nutrients to energy

centriole

the red x inside the animal cell. organizes motion of chromosomes. helps cell division in the animal cell.

endoplasmic reticulum

the blue oval shaped lines all around the nucleus/outside the seed of the avocado shaped animal cell. passage way where chemicals are made.

vacuole

white oval shaped thing inside the animal cell. sac that stores water, nutrients, or waste products

cell membrane

the blue outside layer of the animal cell. membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus.

nucleus

the blue middle circle and looks like the white part of an eye inside the animal cell. structure that contains DNA and regulates genes.

cytoskeleton

yellow straight lines all around the inside of the animal cell. the word skeleton in cytoskeleton can be the bones inside the cell. tubules and filaments that give the cell its shape

ribosome

the tiniest purple dots inside the animal cell. small structure that creates the proteins.

nuclear membrane

the outside of the big blue circle inside the animal cell. the blue part can be similar to the eyelid that protects the eye. membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus.

Golgi apparatus

blue spaghetti that’s shaped like a bow inside the animal cell. stack of membranes that packages chemicals.

vesicle

mid size blue tiny blue circle inside the animal cell. package created by the Golgi apparatus

nucleolus

darkest blue circle that looks like the pupil of the eye inside of the animal cell. structure that manufactures the ribosomes

chloroplast

the bigger green shaped bean inside the plant cell. coverts sunlight into chemical energy.

nuclear membrane

the outside of the big blue circle inside the plant cell. the blue part can be similar to the eyelid that protects the eye. membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus.

endoplasmic recticulum

the blue oval shaped lines all around the nucleus/outside the seed of the avocado shaped plant cell. passage way where chemicals are made.

Golgi appartus

blue spaghetti that’s shaped like a bow inside the plant cell. stack of membranes that packages chemicals.

vacuole

biggest clear shaped bean inside the plant cell. sac that stores water, nutrients, or waste products.

plastid

smallest green shaped bean inside the plant cell. stores food or pigments

mitochondria

the red bean like shape inside the plant cell. converts nutrients to energy.

cytoskeleton

yellow straight lines all around the inside of the plant cell. the word skeleton in cytoskeleton can be the bones inside the cell. tubules and filaments that give the cell its shape.

cell membrane

the blue second outside lined layer of the plant cell. membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus.

cell wall

the light green outside layer inside the plant cell. supports the plant cell and help it maintain its shape.

cytoplasm

The yellow jelly-like substance in the plant cell. everything between the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane.

vesicle

mid size blue tiny blue circle inside the plant cell. package created by the Golgi apparatus
