6702071569ChloroplastSite of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only0
6702071577Contractile VacuoleOsmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae1
6702071578Cell MembraneProtects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal2
6702071579NucleusContains the DNA in a eukaryote cell.3
6702071580NucleolusNon-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal4
6702071581CentriolesHelps organize microtubules during cell division Animal only5
6702071582RibosomesSite of translation (protein synthesis); made from proteins and rRNA6
6702071583Golgi Apparatusorganelle active in modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products7
6702071584Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes that makes and stores lipids8
6702071585Mitochondriaorganelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated9
6702071586Lysosomesdigestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only10
6702071587Cytoskeletonreinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of microfilaments11
6702071591Central VacuoleLargest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only12
6702071592Cell Wallouter layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only13
6702071593Cilialocated on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like plant and animal14
6702071594Flagellumlocated on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles15
6702071595centrosomemade of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division16
6702807878Rough Endoplasmic Reticulumnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes that has ribosomes attached. Proteins are modified, tagged and sent to other parts of the cell.17
