9785719224Tight JunctionsEstablish barriers that prevents leakage between cells animal cells only5
9785719225DesmosomesJoins two cells together by the cytoskeleton joins by rivets into strong sheets animal cells only6
9785719226Gap JunctionsConnects two adjacent cells, allows subjects to pass through tunnels; animal cells only7
9785719227Contractile VacuoleOsmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae8
9785719228Cell MembraneProtects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal9
9785719229NucleusBrain of cell contains dna plant and animal10
9785719230NucleolusNon-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal11
9785719231CentriolesSmall microtubles arranged in specific ways aids in cell division Animal only12
9785719232Ribosomescomplexes that makes proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope plant and animal13
9785719233Golgi Apparatusorganelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products Plant and animal14
9785719234Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough+Smoothnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes active in making and transporting proteins and lipids Plant and animal15
9785719235Mitochondriaorganelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated plant and animal16
9785719236Lysosomesdigestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only17
9785719237Cytoskeletonreinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of protein plant and animal18
9785719238Microtubleschromosome movement, cell division processes, and maintains cell shape MOVING CELL PARTS plant and animal19
9785719239Microfilamentshelps with cell movement, gives shape,cytoplasmic streaming Thinnest filament thin, solid rods actin, myosin INVOLVED in MUSCLE CONTRACTION animal and plant20
9785719240Intermediate Filamentsshape cell, maintains positions of some organelles proteins (keratin) in coils21
9785719241Central VacuoleLargest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only22
9785719242Cell Wallouter layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only23
9785719243Cilialocated on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like plant and animal24
9785719244Flagellumlocated on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles; 9 pair ring outside, 1 pair inside25
9785719245centrosomemade of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division26
