Term | Definition |
Cytoplasm | gel-like substance inside the cell, where cell processes (chemical reactions) occur, 80% water. |
Lysosome | Cell's landfill, digest food molecules, cell waste, and worn out cell parts. |
Cell Wall | Tough structure that surrounds and protects plant cells, gives cell shape, made of cellulose. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes |
Nucleolus | Manufactures the proteins that make up the ribisomes, round in the nucleus. |
Cilia | A short cellular appendage specialized for locomotion, formed from a core of nine outer doublet microtubules and two inner single microtubles ensheathed in an extension of plasma membrane. |
Golgi complex | Manufactures the proteins that make up the ribsomes, found in the nucleus |
Vacuole | Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells |
Plasma membrane | Cells security system, surrounds and protects the cell, controls what enters and exits the cell. |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Breaks down toxins and is free of ribsomes |

Endoplasmic Reticulum | Cell's railroad track, moves material around in the cell, smooth-no ribosomes, rough-has ribosomes |
Chloroplast | Green organelle, in plant cells, photosynthesis, captures energy from the sun to make glucose. |
Nucleus | Control center of cell, contains directions for the entire cell, DNA is found here. Surrounded by a nuclear membrane |
Ribosome | Protein factories, makes proteins, some float freely in the cytoplasm and others are attached to the ER |
