Animal Cell Diagram
cell wall n. Outer covering that protects the cell. Rigid and tough Plant
cell membrane n. Allows molecules to pass in and out of a cell. Thin, covering, protects cells Both
cytoplasm n. Supports organelles inside the cell Jelly-like material inside the cell. Both
nucleus n. Cell brain or the "computer" of the cell. Controls all activities of the cell.The nucleus contains the instructions for everything the cell does. These instructions are found on long, threadlike, hereditary material made of DNA. Dense, ball shaped structure, contains DNA. Both
endoplasmic reticulum n. Transports materials like proteins around the cell. Clear, tubular system of tunnels throughout the cell. Both
ribosome n. Make proteins for the cell. Small specks made of RNA. Found in cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic reticulum. Both
mitochondria n. Supplies energy for the cell. Located in the cytoplasm, bean shaped. Both
golgi body n. Packages and secrets proteins for use in and out of the cell. Small bags with tubes connecting them. Both
vacuole n. Storage tank for food, water and wastes. Large open storage area. Both
chloroplasts n. Captures sunlight and uses it to produce food through photosynthesis. Green structures that contain chlorophyll. Plant
