Cell wall
It is found only in plants, on the outside it is stiff, it protects the cells from viruses and bad organisms and it helps the cell stay in shape.

3
Cell appendages
Arms legs claws and antennas are part of it they are used for movement. Flagella has a long tail that moves back and forth by moving a cell. Cilia are short hairlike structures. They move a cell or a molecule.

Cytoplasm
Most water is found in cytoplasm. cytoplasm is a fluid inside a cell that contains salt and other molecules.

Cytoskeleton
1. is a network of threadlike proteins that are joined together. The proteins form a framework inside the cell giving it a shape that helps it move.
New cards
6
Nucleus
It is part of the eukaryotic cell that directs cell activities and contains genetic information stored in DNA. It also contains proteins.

7
Chloroplast
It is only in plants where photosynthesis is in. It contains chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll
chlorophyll is a green color that captures energy from the sun.

9
Central vacuoles
It is only in plants. Central vacuoles is an organelle that sustains the pressure within a cell against the cell wall.

10
Golgi apparatus
It is involved in distributing synthesized macromolecules in various parts of the cell.
New cards
11
Ribosome
Are composed of RNA and protein. RNA is the “recipe” to create proteins.
New cards
12
Mitochondria
It provide energy by breaking down carbohydrates and sugar molecules. Considered the Powerhouse of the cell.
New cards
13
Lysosomes
mostly only in animal cells perform the function of cellular waste disposal. They digest worn-out organelles, food particles, and foreign bodies in the cell.
New cards
14
Endoplasmic reticulum
is a structure that transports glycogen, proteins, and other compounds.
