Parts of The Cell

Gel-like fluid that fills the cell (air)

Control Center of the cell, holds DNA

Stores food, water, & waste for the cell (storage)

Provides structural support and storage (only found in plant cells)

Takes care of waste in cells, mostly animal cells (trash can)

Makes proteins in cells

Transports proteins (highway)

ER that has less ribosomes on it

ER that has more ribosomes on it

Receives proteins from ER, packages and delivers proteins (mail room)

Converts food to energy (only found in plant cells)

controls what goes in and out of the cell (inside wall)

Covers and protects nucleus

Produces energy through a process called cellular respiration (powerhouse)

Important for cell division (only found in animal cells)

Supports the cell & prevents it from bursting through water osmosis (outside wall, only found in plant cells)

Strands that know how to direct the cell & had genes (blueprints)

Where ribosomes are made (inside the nucleus)

A cell containing a nucleus & membrane bound organells (usually multicellular)

A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus & membrane bound organelles (pill shaped)
