receives proteins and materials from the ER, packages them, & distributes them

assembles amino acids to create proteins

found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes

gel-like fluid where the organelles are found

has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another

stores food, water, wastes, and other materials

control center of the cell; contains DNA

uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts

produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions

cylinder-shaped organelles made of short microtubules arranged in a circle

captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in plant cells

ridged outer layer of a plant cell

a type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles; Examples of organisms with these cells are bacteria and archaea.

tiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instructions for directing the cell's functions

controls what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal cells

idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells

a network of proteins that is constantly changing to meet the needs of a cell; made of small protein subunits that form long threads, or fibers that crisscross the entire cell

a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell

a type of cell with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Examples of organisms with these cells are protists, plants, fungi, and animals.
