tiny structures that float in the cytoplasm; each has a special job to do

storage areas of the cell; store water, nutrients, and other materials for the cell

takes energy from food and turns it into energy the cell can use; called the "power house" of the cell

the clear, thick gel-like fluid all organelles float in; helps to provide structure for the cell

factories that make proteins for the cell; called the "hitch hiker"

the "green machine"; it makes food from sunlight for plants through the process of photosynthesis

the basic unit of all living things

they receive, package, sort, and deliver proteins and other materials for the cell; known as the "mailroom"

a rigid layer of cellulose that surrounds the cell; it provides shape and support for plant cells

controls what goes on inside the cell; it tells other organelles what to do and when to do it; known as the "boss" or command center

endoplasmic reticulum

carries proteins and other materials around the cell; known as the "highway"

the barrier that allows things to enter and exit the cell; also keeps bacteria out of the cell; known as the "window screen"

known as the "clean up crew"; they get rid of worn out cell parts and waste materials

Cell Organelles

Use this set to review cell parts and their functions (jobs).

Term	Definition
organelles	tiny structures that float in the cytoplasm; each has a special job to do
vacuole	storage areas of the cell; store water, nutrients, and other materials for the cell
mitochondria	takes energy from food and turns it into energy the cell can use; called the "power house" of the cell
cytoplasm	the clear, thick gel-like fluid all organelles float in; helps to provide structure for the cell
ribosomes	factories that make proteins for the cell; called the "hitch hiker"
chloroplast	the "green machine"; it makes food from sunlight for plants through the process of photosynthesis
cell	the basic unit of all living things
Golgi bodies	they receive, package, sort, and deliver proteins and other materials for the cell; known as the "mailroom"
cell wall	a rigid layer of cellulose that surrounds the cell; it provides shape and support for plant cells
nucleus	controls what goes on inside the cell; it tells other organelles what to do and when to do it; known as the "boss" or command center
endoplasmic reticulum	carries proteins and other materials around the cell; known as the "highway"
cell membrane	the barrier that allows things to enter and exit the cell; also keeps bacteria out of the cell; known as the "window screen"
lysosomes	known as the "clean up crew"; they get rid of worn out cell parts and waste materials
