Cell Structure and Function CGHS

The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.

Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use

A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction. Also known as the brain of the cell.

Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes.

A small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.

Basic unit of all living things

A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell

An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs

Cytoplasmic organelles at which proteins are synthesized.

Part of the Endoplasmic Reticulum that contains enzymes used to make lipids

Part of the endoplasmic reticulum that contains ribosomes, so this part is in charge of protein synthesis:

Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates

Structures specialized to perform distinct processes within a cell.

A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended

A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell
