Cell Organelles

Front

Firm, fairly rigid structure found outside of plants for support.

Back

Cell wall: A protective layer that provides structural support to plant cells.

Front

Cell with no nucleus or membrane-bound structures.

Back

Prokaryote: A type of cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

Front

Network of proteins found within the cytoplasm for support and structure.

Back

Cytoskeleton: A network of fibers that helps the cell maintain its shape and provides support.

Front

Cell with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.

Back

Eukaryote: A type of cell that contains a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes.

Front

Transports proteins throughout the cell.

Back

Vesicles: Small membrane-bound sacs that transport materials within the cell.

Front

The jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles are found.

Back

Cytoplasm: The fluid that fills a cell and surrounds the organelles.

Front

Organelle responsible for energy production in the cell.

Back

Mitochondria: Known as the powerhouse of the cell, it converts nutrients into energy.

Front

Organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion.

Back

Golgi apparatus: A cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipids.

Front

Organelle that synthesizes proteins based on genetic instructions.

Back

Ribosomes: Small structures that make proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

Organelle that contains digestive enzymes to break down waste.

Back

Lysosomes: Organelles that contain enzymes to digest cellular waste and debris.
