plant cells

3. everything found inside the eukaryotic cell membrane except the nucleus.
6. membrane: The semi-permeable lipid bilayer covering of a cell that separates the cytoplasm from the cell’s environment
9. The chlorophyll-containing organelle in green plant cells where photosynthesis occurs
10. an organelle of eukaryotic cells that is the site of respiration, energy production and extra-nuclear genes.
12. reticulum: A complex of convoluted membranes in eukaryotic cells responsible for protein and lipid synthesis. There are two types: Smooth ER (no attached ribosomes) and Rough ER (with ribosomes). More in the Eukaryotic Cell Model.
13. densely-packed region of nucleic acids and proteins within the eukaryotic cell nucleus visible during interphase Synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) important for the production of ribosomes takes place in this region. See the Eukaryotic Cell Model

1. Ribosomes are packets of RNA and protein that are the site of protein synthesis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
2. membrane-bound packet of hydrolytic enzymes in the eukaryotic cell that can degrade intracellular materials or aid in killing ingested pathogens
4. That region in the eukaryotic cell in which the major portion of the genetic code resides. It is bounded by a double membrane.
5. wall: The polysaccharide layer on the external surface of many plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
7. an organelle distinguished by a series of stacked membrane sacs that is important in the packaging and transport of macromolecular cell products. Explore more in the Eukaryotic Cell Model
8. A membrane-bound fluid filled organelle of eukaryote cells that may contain nutrient or waste materials.
11. complex of DNA, RNA and proteins in the eukaryotic cell nucleus
