parts of the cell
this is referred to as the "soup" and this is where the other cell organelles reside and where most of the cellular metabolism occurs...
what is cytoplasm
this helps maintain cell shape and is important in motility...
what is the cytoskeleton
this oranelle is enclosed in a double membrane and is responsible for holding all the cells DNA and controlling the cell's activities...
what is the nucleus
The cell's Brain
Nucleus
this is a stack of membrane-bound structures and is important for packaging and transporting materials for export...
what is Golgi body
these are common in animal cells, contain hydrolytic enzymes, and eat bacteria in the white blood cells to break down waste...
what are lysosomes
every cell is enclosed in this...
what is the cell membrane
The cell's Muscle
Mitochondria
animal cells DONT have this to support the cell membrane...
what is a cell wall
this is a membrane-bound sac that plays roles in intracellular digestion by storing water and proteins...
what is a vacuole
found in all higher plant cells
responsible for plants green color
have a double outer membrane
produce glucose
what is the chloroplast
The animal cell's walls
Cell Membrane
these are packets of protein, are in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and they synthesize proteins...
what is Ribosomes
this smooth organelle is found in eukaryotic cells and packages and transports proteins...
what is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
this produces ribosomes...
what is the nucleolus
The cell's stomach
Lysosomes
this produces the energy cells need to function, they are a membrane-bound organelle, and some nuclei can have two of these...
what is the mitochondrion
these organelles are responsible for protecting the cell from its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide...
what are peroxisomes
these have highly structured cells
what are eukaryotes
The cells intestines
Golgi body
