  1. 2. In addition to making lysosmes, the Golgi body (also known as the Golgi apparatus) packages and ships materials out of the cell.
  2. 3. The contents of the cell, between the nucleus and plasma membrane, consist of a gel-like fluid in which the organelles are suspended.
  3. 5. Bound by a double-layer nuclear membrane, the nucleus contains the genetic material (the genome) of the cell.
  4. 8. The central vacuole takes up most of the space within a plant cell. Defined by a membrane called the tonoplast, the central vacuole functions as a holding tank for water and other molecules used by the cell.
  5. 10. Bacteria and their bacteria-like cousins
  6. 12. Tiny powerhouses of the cell, these double membrane-bound organelles transform food energy into ATP (adesnosine-5’- triphosphate), an all-purpose cellular energy nucleotide, analogous to a rechargeable battery, that can be used for work within the cell.
  7. 13. The more complex cells of animals, plants, fungi, protozoans, algae, and slime and water molds

  1. 1. This network of hollow tubes extends off the nuclear membrane, and comes in two forms; rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is studded with ribosomes and produces protein molecules and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which has no ribosomes, and is involved in making and transporting of lipids.
  2. 4. This membrane—made mainly of phospholipids, proteins and sterols—is found in all eukaryotic cells, and serves as a barrier between the inside and the outside of the cell.
  3. 6. These double membrane bound organelles contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which captures sunlight energy, so that the cell can produce its own food, a process called photosynthesis.
  4. 7. In plants cells, the centrosome does not contain centrioles like in animal cells, but does function to build microtubules (a component of the cytoskeleton) and is called the microtubule organizing center.
  5. 9. Plant cells have protective cell walls, composed mainly of structural carbohydrates. The cell wall provides support, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents the cell from taking on too much water and bursting.
  6. 11. This network of filaments and tubules spans the interior of the cell. The cytoskeleton provides support, anchors organelles, and helps with transport of materials within the cell.
