organelles small specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.
what are two main cell types? Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
prokaryotes cells with no membrane
eukaryotes cells that contain membrane bound organelles

chromatin strands of DNA located in the nucleus. found in the nucleus
nuclear envelope seperates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Golgi apparatus
what is the double layered membrane found in plant and animal cells? Nuclear envelope
nuclear pores holes in the nuclear membrane. allow substances to pass through. found in animal and plant cells
nucleolus makes ribosomes. found in animal and plant cells
clear, gelatinous fluid in cells? Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm suspends organelles, found in animal, plant, and bacterial cells
what makes protiens? ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum attaches to the nuclear membrane, transporting materials within the cell
2 types of ER? Rough ER , Smooth ER

chloroplast is a type of ? plastid
what makes up the cytoskeleton? microtubules and microfilaments
cytoskeleton supports the cell. found in animal and plant cells. cellular frame work composed of microtubules and microfilaments
thin, hollow cylinder made of proteins Microtubules
what maintains the shape of the cell? Microtubules
Microtubules are found in animal and plant cells. serves as tracts on which the organelles move
small, thin, solid proteins Microfilaments
Microfilaments anchor and support organelles, found in animal and plant cells
