CELLS

CELL WALL Protects the cell and gives it structure. (Only plant cells have a cell wall) (Animal cells need to be flexible in order to move around)

CELL MEMBRANE Allows things in and out of the cell.

NUCLEUS The brain center of the cell. It controls all activity

NUCLEAR MEMBRANE Allows things in and out of the nucleus.

NUCLEOLUS It is found inside the nucleus It controls ribosome production

CHROMATIN Located inside the nucleus. It contains genetic information.

CENTRIOLE Helps in cell division.

CYTOPLASM A jellylike substance in the cell. It helps things stay in place.

MITOCHONDRION The powerhouse of the cell which provides energy.

RIBOSOMES Control protein production in the cell.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM The transportation system of the cell.

GOLGI APPARATUS The exporter of the cell. It takes things to the cell membrane.

LYSOSOME Gets rid of old organelles in the cell. The garbage man of the cell.

VACUOLE The storage tank of the cell. Contains mostly water. May contain food and waste.

CHLOROPLASTS Contain chlorophyll which gives plants their green color. Chlorophyll traps sunlight so the plant can conduct photosynthesis. This gives the plant energy

ANIMAL VERSUS PLANT CELLS Plant cells have a cell wall while animal cells do not. Plant cells have chloroplasts while animal cells do not. (Plants get energy through photosynthesis and animals through what they eat)

ANIMAL VERSUS PLANT CELLS Plant cells usually look square or like a rectangle due to their cell wall. Animal cells are usually more rounded because they have to be able to move around.
