| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| vacuole | large storage of water and solutes |
| cell wall | outside of cell membrane protects and gives structure; only in plants |
| cytoskeleton/microtubules | gives internal structure to the cell |
| cell membrane | controls what enters and leaves a cell |
| flagella | provides movement of entire cell(found only in some animal cells) |
| golgi apparatus | sorts, modifies, and packages proteins |
| nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
| rough endoplasmic reticulum | has ribosomes attached and is transport system for proteins |
| ribosomes | where proteins are made |
| cytoplasm | "jelly" that fills the cell; cushions all the organelles |
| nucleus | controls what enters and leaves the nucleus |
| smooth endoplasmic reticulum | helps detoxify and assembles lipids |
| centrioles | grow microtubules for cell division |
| Lysosome | breaks down material(digests organic molecules) |
| chloroplast | site of photosynthesis |
| mitochondira | site of cellular respiration |
