The general name of tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.

A rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms, it protects and supports the cell.

Controls which substances pass into and out of a cell.

The double membrane surrounding the nucleus within a cell. Also called the nuclear envelope.

Small round structure in the nucleus where ribosomes are made.

Thin strands of material that fill the nucleus, contains information for directing the cells function.

Control center of the cell, directs all of the cells activities.

Small grain-shaped organelles that produce proteins.

Jelly-like substance that fills all the open areas in the cell.

Rod-shaped structures that convert energy from food into energy for the cell, nicknamed the “powerhouse”

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The ER forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

Receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or outside the cell wall.

Stores water, food, and other materials needed by the cell, they can also carry waste products until it is removed.

Captures energy from the sunlight and changes it to a form of energy cells can use in making food.

Contains substances that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
