Cell Parts and Cell Functions

Nucleus

Brain of the cell

Contains most of its DNA

Nucleolus

Produces ribosomes

Endoplasmic Reticulum

an internal membrane system in which components of cell membrane and some proteins are constructed

Ribosomes

synthesizes proteins

Mitochondria

converts chemical energy into ATP

Lysosomes

An organelle containing digestive enzymes in an animal cell

Chloroplast

An organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Cytoplasm

A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended

Cell Membrane

A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.

Cell Wall

Found outside the cell membrane, made mostly of cellulose that supports the cell and limits its volume.

Nuclear Envelope

Controls what goes in and out of the nucleus.

Golgi Apparatus (bodies)

Stacked membranes that receive, package, and secrete proteins

Centriole

Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only

Vacuole

Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates

What is G?

Prokaryotic cell (image)

Is this a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?

Eukaryotic Cell (image)

Is this a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?

Cell Wall, Chloroplasts, large central vacuole

Plant cells have this but animal cells do not

Eukaryotic cells (Definition)

Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes. Ex. plant and animal cells

Prokaryotic cell

A cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Ex. Bacterial cells
