13 Cell Parts and Functions

13 Cell Parts and Functions

  • Cell Wall
    A structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell.
  • Cell Membrane
    A protective layer that covers the cell's surface and controls what moves in and out of the cell.
  • Cytoplasm
    The fluid, jelly-like substance that fills the cell.
  • Nucleus
    A large organelle in a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's DNA/chromosomes/genetic material.
  • Chloroplast
    Organelles in plant cells that trap sunlight; organelle in which photosynthesis takes place.
  • Chromosome
    Structures in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells made of DNA.
  • Ribosome
    An organelle that makes proteins.
  • Lysosome
    The organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders.
  • Mitochondria
    The organelles that that break down food/sugar to release energy.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum
    The organelle that transports proteins around the cell.
  • Golgi Body
    The organelle that packages proteins before they leave the cell.
  • Vacuole
    The organelle that stores water and other materials.
  • Nucleolus
    The dark area of the nucleus which stores materials that will be used to make ribosomes.
  • prokaryote
    a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
  • eukaryote
    an organism made up of cells that contain their DNA in a nucleus
  • organelle
    a small body in a cell's cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function (EX: nucleus, ribosome, etc.)
