parts of the cell

cell wall

protects and supports plant cells (plant cells)

centriole

important in cell division (animal cells)

Chloroplasts

site where photosynthesis occurs (plant cells)

Cilia

aids in moving the cell and moving substances along the

surface of the cell (some animal cells)

Cytoskeleton

a framework for the cell within the cytoplasm (both)

Endoplasmic reticulum

site of protein synthesis; where ribosomes attach (both)

Flagellum

aids in moving and feeding the cell (some animal cells)

Golgi apparatus

modifies and packages proteins for distribution outside the cell (both) 

Lysosomes

breaks down excess or worn-out substances in the cell (animal cells)

Mitochondrion

supplies energy to the rest of the cell (both)

Nucleus

directs the production of proteins and cell division (both)

Plasma membrane

controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell (both)

Ribosomes

produces proteins (both)

Vacuole

stores materials temporarily (plant cell - one large; animal cell - a few small)
