7979032668	Chloroplast	Site of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only	0
7979032669	Peroxisomes	makes hydrogen peroxide to detoxify alcohol or convert lipids to be used for energy plant and animal cells	1
7979032670	Amyloplast	Stores starch amylose and turns in into glucosec some plant cells	2
7979032671	Chromoplast	Responsible for the colors in plant 4 to 5 um plant cells only	3
7979032672	Plasmodesmata	holes and channels in the cell wall that connect adjacent cells; allows stuff to pass through plant cells only	4
7979032673	Tight Junctions	Establish barriers that prevents leakage between cells animal cells only	5
7979032674	Desmosomes	Joins two cells together by the cytoskeleton joins by rivets into strong sheets animal cells only	6
7979032675	Gap Junctions	Connects two adjacent cells, allows subjects to pass through tunnels; animal cells only	7
7979032676	Contractile Vacuole	Osmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae	8
7979032677	Cell Membrane	Protects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal	9
7979032678	Nucleus	Brain of cell contains dna plant and animal	10
7979032679	Nucleolus	Non-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal	11
7979032680	Centrioles	Small microtubles arranged in specific ways aids in cell division Animal only	12
7979032681	Ribosomes	complexes that makes proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope plant and animal	13
7979032682	Golgi Apparatus	organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products Plant and animal	14
7979032683	Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough+Smooth	network of membranous sacs and tubes active in making and transporting proteins and lipids Plant and animal	15
7979032684	Mitochondria	organelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated plant and animal	16
7979032685	Lysosomes	digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only	17
7979032686	Cytoskeleton	reinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of protein plant and animal	18
7979032687	Microtubles	chromosome movement, cell division processes, and maintains cell shape MOVING CELL PARTS plant and animal	19
7979032688	Microfilaments	helps with cell movement, gives shape,cytoplasmic streaming Thinnest filament thin, solid rods actin, myosin INVOLVED in MUSCLE CONTRACTION animal and plant	20
7979032689	Intermediate Filaments	shape cell, maintains positions of some organelles proteins (keratin) in coils	21
7979032690	Central Vacuole	Largest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only	22
7979032691	Cell Wall	outer layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only	23
7979032692	Cilia	located on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like plant and animal	24
7979032693	Flagellum	located on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles; 9 pair ring outside, 1 pair inside	25
7979032694	centrosome	made of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division	26
7979032695	Prokaryote	no membrane bound organelles, no nucleus, free ribosomes and cell wall, single circular DNA	27
7979032696	Eukaryote	membrane bound organelles, multiple linear DNA, histones on DNA	28
7979032697	Eukaryotic plant cells only	chloroplasts, cell wall	29
7979032698	Eukaryotic animal cells only	lysosomes, centrioles	30
