Cell Membrane
The thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
Cell
The cell is the functional basic unit of life. It was discovered by Robert Hooke and is the functional unit of all known living organisms.
Cell Wall
Plant cells have a rigid, protective cell wall made up of polysaccharides. The cell wall provides and maintains the shape of these cells and serves as a protective barrier.
Cytoplasm
The jelly-like material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.
Chloroplast
Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from the sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.
Chromosome
Granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins.
Nuclear Envelope
It surrounds the nucleus and lets certain things go in and out of the nucleus.
Nucleus
Structure that contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell’s activities.
Cytoskeleton
Network of of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and it is involved in many forms of cell movement.
Nucleolus
Small, dense region within most nuclei in which the assembly of proteins begins.
Mitochondrion
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
Golgi Apparatus
Stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum.
Lysosome
Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell.
Ribosome
Small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein.
Vacuole
Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Has numerous ribosomes on its surface. Proteins synthesized on these ribosomes collect the endoplasmic reticulum for transport through te cell.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Controls lipids, produces hormones and secretary product (sweat, saliva…) continuation of the outer nuclear membrane.
