Cell structures

  1. Any tiny structure that performs a specialized function in the cell
    Organelle
  2. A plant organelle that may store starch or pigments
    Plastid
  3. Converts the chemical energy in food into a form that is more easily used
    Mitochondria
  4. Transport channels that are studded with Ribosomes
    R. E.R.
  5. Modifies, collects, packages, and distributes proteins that are produced by the cell
    Golgi Body
  6. Saclike storage structure found in both plant and animal cells.
    Vacuole
  7. Short threadlike structure on the outside of the cell that helps a unicellular organism move
    Cilia
  8. Traps energy from sunlight and converts it to chemical energy
    Chloroplast
  9. Contains digestive enzymes that help clean up the cell
    Lysosome
  10. Framework or filaments and Fibers involved in cell support and movement
    Cytoskeleton
  11. An organelle that serves as a protein factory
    Ribosomes
  12. Tiny hollow tube made of the protein tubulin that is involved with the support, that help build cilia and flagella and form centrioles in cell division
    Microtubule
  13. Long thin fiber on the outside of the cell that functions in movement
    Flagellum
  14. A complex network lf channels that is involved with transport, storage and making and modifying proteins
    E.R.
  15. Found only in plant and algae cells it consits of two enveloplike membranes that surround a folded inner membrane
    Chloroplasts
  16. Threadlike structures made of actin that support the cell and help the cell move
    Microfilaments
  17. Large structure that contains the cell's genetic information
    Nucleus
  18. Granular material visible within the nucleus
    Chromatin
  19. The small dense region in the nucleus where the assembly of ribosomes begins
    Nucleolus
  20. The distinct thread like structures that contain the genetic information of the cell
    chromosomes
  21. The double-membrane layer that surrounds the nucleus
    nuclear envelope
  22. One of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells that help organize cell division.
    centrioles
