Cell Membrane

Front

A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane for support and protection of the cell.

Chloroplasts

Front

A gel like fluid that takes up most of the space inside the cell. The organelles are found scattered throughout it.

Golgi Body

Front

A fluid like vesicle that stores water and provides support for the cell.

Back

Large central vacuole

Front

A cell organelle that is responsible for waste removal in the cell.
