Parts of a Cell

Parts of a Cell 1

100

This is the “brain” of the cell.

It controls the cell’s activities

nucleus

200

This is the jelly-like substance that holds and protects a cell’s organelles.

cytoplasm

300

This is the large sac that holds food, water, and waste.

vacuole

400

These structures are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they release energy.

mitochondria

500

This green structure is found only in plant cells and uses energy from the sun to make food.

chloroplasts

Parts of a Cell 2

100

These organelles use enzymes to digest or break down biomolecules.

lysosomes

200

These cells are the basic building blocks of life in plants.

plant cell

300

These cells are the basic building blocks of life in animals.

animal cell

400

This is the outer layer of a plant cell. It supports the cell.

cell wall

500

This structure packages and moves proteins through the cell.

golgi apparatus

Parts of a Cell 3

100

This structure packages and moves proteins through the cell.

golgi apparatus

200

This is the outer layer of an animal cell, and it controls movement in and out of the cell.

cell membrane

300

There are two types of this structure: a smooth and a rough one.

endoplasmic reticulum

400

These organelles build or synthesize proteins for the cell.

ribosomes

500

This is the outer layer of a plant cell. It supports the cell.

cell wall
