the central command-center which controls all cellular activity
nucleus
plant cells have a large centralized _______
vacuole
a semi-fluid, clear, thick jelly-like consistency
cytoplasm
"powerhouse" of the cell
mitochondria
cilia
paramecium
responsible for pushing the cytoplasm outwards and assists in retaining the shape of the cell
central vacuole
responsible for trapping sunlight to be used for photosynthesis
chloroplasts
a stack of flat membrane-covered sacs that sort and package chemicals for export
golgi body
protective layer (consists of 2)
membrane
relies on streaming movements within its cytoplasm called cyclosis
amoeba
fibres pull chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell during cell division enabling the cell to divide in half
centrioles
additional protective covering that is sturdy and rigid
cell wall
small cylindrical structures which form spindle fibres during cell division
centrioles
storage area

flagella
euglena
responsible for receiving the messenger RNA from the nucleus and converting it into amino acids
ribosomes
main structure & contains genetic info
nucleus
a web of long tubes and fibers made of protein
cytoskeleton
breaks down large pieces of food
lysosomes
encloses food source in a food vacuole
amoeba
contain piles of flat discs called grana or thylakoids.
chlorplasts
makes proteins
ribosomes
responsible for the storage of energy
mitochondria
conveyer belt for things to be built upon
