5068396694ChloroplastSite of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only0
5068396695Peroxisomesmakes hydrogen peroxide to detoxify alcohol or convert lipids to be used for energy plant and animal cells1
5068396697AmyloplastStores starch amylose and turns in into glucosec some plant cells2
5068396698ChromoplastResponsible for the colors in plant 4 to 5 um plant cells only3
5068396699Plasmodesmataholes and channels in the cell wall that connect adjacent cells; allows stuff to pass through plant cells only4
5068396700Tight JunctionsEstablish barriers that prevents leakage between cells animal cells only5
5068396701DesmosomesJoins two cells together by the cytoskeleton joins by rivets into strong sheets animal cells only6
5068396702Gap JunctionsConnects two adjacent cells, allows subjects to pass through tunnels; animal cells only7
5068396703Contractile VacuoleOsmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae8
5068396704Cell MembraneProtects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal9
5068396705NucleusBrain of cell contains dna plant and animal10
5068396706NucleolusNon-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal11
5068396707CentriolesSmall microtubles arranged in specific ways aids in cell division Animal only12
5068396708Ribosomescomplexes that makes proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope plant and animal13
5068396709Golgi Apparatusorganelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products Plant and animal14
5068396710Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough+Smoothnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes active in making and transporting proteins and lipids Plant and animal15
5068396711Mitochondriaorganelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated plant and animal16
5068396712Lysosomesdigestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only17
5068396714Cytoskeletonreinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of protein plant and animal18
5068396715Microtubleschromosome movement, cell division processes, and maintains cell shape MOVING CELL PARTS plant and animal19
5068396716Microfilamentshelps with cell movement, gives shape,cytoplasmic streaming Thinnest filament thin, solid rods actin, myosin INVOLVED in MUSCLE CONTRACTION animal and plant20
5068396717Intermediate Filamentsshape cell, maintains positions of some organelles proteins (keratin) in coils21
5068396718Central VacuoleLargest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only22
5068396719Cell Wallouter layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only23
5068396720Cilialocated on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like plant and animal24
5068396721Flagellumlocated on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles; 9 pair ring outside, 1 pair inside25
5068648538centrosomemade of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division26
