The Parts of the Cel
these are the cell parts and their functions (couldn't fit the last "L", sorry)
Cell Part | Cell Parts function |
---|---|
Cell Membrane | to keep the cell and its environment separate: to allow things in or out of the cell |
Cytoplasm | to suspend structures and/or move structures and material throughout the cell by (the word with "ic" on the end) streaming |
Nucleus | to direct all of the activites of the cell |
Mitochondrion | to break down "cell food" to use as energy in the cells |
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | to be a path to help move things from the nucleus to he edges of the cell (like a highway or a conveyor belt |
Ribosome | to make proteins |
Golgi Bodies | to package proteins and begin the process of moving the proteins out of the cell |
Vacuole | to store things in the cell |
Lysosome | to "digest" waste and worn out cell parts |
Cell Wall | to protect and support the cell (only in plant cells) |
Chloroplast | to change light energy into chemical energy, in the form of sugar or starch (only in plant cells) |
Cytoskeleton | is a solid and hollow tube that helps cells keep their shape, change their shape, or in some cases move (only in animal cells) |
