The cell’s main powerhouse, converts energy from food into ATP for the cell to use.

Found only in animal cells, organize chromosomes when cells divide. (Cell division) (Assist during mitosis)

Little doors that control the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

Little vessels that store and transport material throughout the cell.

Like garbage trucks that collect and safely break down chemicals.

The control center of the cell, where the genetic blueprint is stored.

The watery substance that fills most of the cell. Supports and protects organelles (Bubble wrap)

The genetic blueprint of the cell.

Gates that make communication and movement of materials possible in plants.

A thin, surrounding layer made of lipids. Controls what goes in and out.

Recycling centers that break down garbage into material the cell can re-use.

A factory inside the nucleus that makes ribosomes, makes protein (RNA)

A network of membranes that makes lipids and helps remove toxins. Has protein in it.

Solar power factories that absorb and convert sunlight into usable energy in plants. (Used in photosynthesis)

Little factories that convert the cell’s genetic blueprint into molecules. (Makes protein)

The cell’s postal service, this sorts and ships proteins through the cell.

Absorbs molecules from inside, “doorway”

Stores starches

Plant cells have what looks like a very large empty space in the middle.

A membrane cell organelle

Unlike cell membranes, materials cannot get through cell walls. This would be a problem for plant cells if not for special openings, supports and gives shape

Defense toxic

Helps repel animal away from plants

Made up of filaments and tubules, helps shape and support the cell.
