Cell Parts AM
| Nucleus | The central membrane-bound organelle that manages cellular functions and contains DNA. |
| NuclearEnvelope | Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus. |
| Ribosomes | Helps manufacture proteins. |
| Nucleolus | Produces ribosomes inside the nucleus. |
| EndoplasmicReticulum | A highly folded membrane that is the site of protein and lipid synthesis. |
| GolgiApparatus | Flattened stack of tubular membranes that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins - transports them. |
| Vacuole | Membrane-bound storage area within the cell. |
| Lysosome | Vesicle that uses enzymes to digest excess or worn-out organelles. |
| Centriole | Organelle that plays a role in cell division and is made of microtubules. |
| Mitochondria (mitochondrion) | Converts fuel particles (sugar) into useable energy. |
| Chloroplast | A double membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis. |
| CellWall | Gives support to plant cells. |
| Cilia(cilium) | Short, hairlike projection that functions in cell movement. |
| Flagella(flagellum) | Long, tail-like projection with a whip-like motion that helps a cell move through a watery environment. |
| Cytoskeleton | Supporting network of protein fibers that provide a framework for the cell within the cytoplasm. |
| Cytoplasm | Semifluid material inside the cell's plasma membrane. |
| PlasmaMembrane | Flexible, selectively permeable boundary that helps control what enters and leaves the cell. |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. |
| Diffusion | Net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. |
