Parts & Jobs of Plant and Animal Cells
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Cell Wall | a cell wall is a rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. |
Cell Membrane | a cell membrane controls what substances come into and out of a cell. |
Nucleus | the nucleus directs all of the cells activities, including reproduction. |
Cytoplasm | the cytoplasm includes a gel like fluid which many different organelles are found. |
Mitochondria | most of the cells energy is produced within these rod shaped organelles. |
Endoplasmic reticulum | this network of passageways carries materials from one part of a cell to another. |
Ribosomes | these small structures function as factories to produce proteins. ribosomes may be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, or they may float in the cytoplasm. |
Golgi body | the Golgi body receive materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell. They also release materials outside of the cell. |
Chloroplasts | these organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. |
Vacuole | most mature plant cells have one large vacuole. this sac within the cytoplasm stores water, food, waste products, and other materials. |
Lysosome | these small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts. |
