7880193134ChloroplastSite of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only0
7880193135Contractile VacuoleOsmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae1
7880193136Cell MembraneProtects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal2
7880193137NucleusContains the DNA in a eukaryote cell.3
7880193138NucleolusNon-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal4
7880193139CentriolesHelps organize microtubules during cell division Animal only5
7880193140RibosomesSite of translation (protein synthesis); made from proteins and rRNA6
7880193141Golgi Apparatusorganelle active in modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products7
7880193142Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes that makes and stores lipids8
7880193143Mitochondriaorganelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated9
7880193144Lysosomesdigestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only10
7880193145Cytoskeletonreinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of microfilaments11
7880193146Central VacuoleLargest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only12
7880193147Cell Wallouter layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only13
7880193148Cilialocated on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like plant and animal14
7880193149Flagellumlocated on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles15
7880193150centrosomemade of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division16
7880193151Rough Endoplasmic Reticulumnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes that has ribosomes attached. Proteins are modified, tagged and sent to other parts of the cell.17
