| Front | Back |
 Cytoplasm |
Portion of cell outside the nucleus, maintain shape, holds the organelles
|
 Nucleus |
Contains nearly all the cells dna with it the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules, control center
|
 Chromatin |
DNA bound to protein, granular material in nucleus,
|
 Chromosomes |
When a cell divides, the chromatin condenses to form this, threadlike, pass genetic information from one generation to the next
|
 Nuclear envelope |
Composed of two membranes with nuclear pores that allow material to move into and out of the nucleus
|
 Nucleolus |
Small dense region in nucleus, where the assembly of ribosomes begin
|
 Ribosomes |
RNA and protein found throught the cytoplasm, where proteins are assembled
|
 Endoplasmic reticulum |
Internal membrane system, the site where lipid components are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell, surrounds the nucleus
|
 Golgi Apparatus |
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell
|
 Lysosomes |
Filled with enzymes, digest lipids, carbs, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell.
|
 Vacuoles |
Sac like structure, stores materials such as water, salt, protein, and carbs, pump water out of cells, mostly in plants
|
 Mitochondria |
Two membranes, inner membrane is folded up, convert chemical energy in food to compounds easier for the cell to use
|
 Chloroplasts |
Capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy using photosynthesis, green
|
 Cytoskeleton |
Made of proteins, help the cell maintain shape and involved in movement
|
 Microfilaments |
Threadlike, tough and flexible, amoebas, made of the protein actin
