MOST PEOPLE INCORRECTLY CALL THE LIQUID INBETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL ORGANELLES THE
THIS TERM ACTUALLY REFERS TO ALL OF THE CONTENTS OF THE CELL FOUND OUTSIDE THE NUCLEUS,
BUT WITHIN THE CELL MEMBRANE.
1. CONSISTS OF A DOUBLE MEMBRANE, WHICH CONTAINS PORES TO ALLOW THE PASSAGE OF
SUBSTANCES IN AND OUT OF THE NUCLEUS.
2. SURROUNDS THE CELL, BUT IS SEMI-PERMEABLE TO ALLOW THE PASSAGE OF MATERIALS IN AND
OUT OF THE CELL
3. CONTAINS ENZYMES USED TO BREAK DOWN DIFFERENT MOLECULES WITHIN THE CELL
4. THE “CONTROL CENTRE” OF THE CELL. CONTAINS DNA, WHICH IS THE HEREDITARY MATERIAL OF
THE CELL.
5. MEMBRANE-BOUND SACS USED FOR STORAGE, DIGESTION AND WASTE REMOVAL. MANY SMALL
ONES IN ANIMALS CELLS, BUT USUALLY ONLY ONE LARGE ONE IN PLANTS.
6. USED TO MAKE CENTRIOLES AND SPINDLE FIBRES DURING MITOSIS.
7. FOUND ONLY IN PLANTS AND ALGAE. CONTAIN THE PIGMENT CHLOROPHYLL, WHICH CONVERTS
ENERGY FROM THE SUN INTO THE STORED FORM OF ENERGY, GLUCOSE.
8. THREADS OF DNA THAT COIL UP INTO CHROMOSOMES DURING MITOSIS.
9. THE “POWER HOUSE” OF THE CELL. PRODUCES CHEMICAL ENERGY FOR ALL CELLULAR FUNCTIONS.
10. A 3-DIMENSIONAL NETWORK OF TUBES MADE BY A CONTINUOUS MEMBRANE, AN EXTENSION OF THE
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE. CAN BE ROUGH OR SMOOTH.
11. COMPOSED OF A STACK OF FLATTENED SACS. USED TO PACKAGE PROTEINS FOR STORAGE OR
EXPORT OUT OF THE CELL.
12. FOUND ONLY IN PLANT CELLS. STORES PIGMENTS, OTHER THAN CHLOROPHYLL, THAT GIVE
COLOUR TO PARTS OF PLANTS.
13. A PAIR OF CYLINDRICAL ORGANELLES LYING AT RIGHT ANGLES TO ONE ANOTHER. INVOLVED IN
THE CREATION OF SPINDLE FIBRES DURING MITOSIS.
14. FOUND ONLY IN PLANTS. WHITISH IN COLOUR AND ARE USED TO STORE STARCH, LIPIDS OR
PROTEINS.
15. MADE UP OF DNA, RNA AND PROTEIN AND IS FOUND IN THE NUCLEUS. MAKES RIBOSOMES.
16. RIGID STRUCTURE MADE OF CELLULOSE FIBRES THAT IS FOUND ONLY IN PLANT CELLS. PROVIDES
SUPPORT AND PROTECTION TO THE CELL
17. SITE OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
18. A STRUCTURELESS FLUID, ALSO CALLED THE HYALOPLASM.
