Parts of the Cell

Microfilaments

fine, threadlike proteins found in the cell's cytoskeleton

Lysosomes

An organelle containing digestive enzymes

Cilila

Makes up cell strcuture (Combined with Flagella)

Flagella

Makes up cell structure (Combined with Cilia)

Mitochondria

Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production

Endoplasmic Recticulum

a cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other marerials are carried from one part of the cell to another

Cytoskeleton

a microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence

Nucleus

a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction

Nucleolus

a small round body of protein in a cell nucleus

Cell Wall

a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell

Plasma Membrane

a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell

Vacuole

a tiny cavity filled with fluid in the cytoplasm of a cell

Chlorophyll

any of a group of green pigments found in photosynthetic organisms

Plastid

any of various small particles in the cytoplasm of the cells of plants and some animals containing pigments or starch or oil or protein

Microtubules

hollow tubes of protein about 25 nanometers in diameter, support the cell and moves organelles within the cell

Centriole

one of two small cylindrical cell organelles composes of 9 triplet microtubules

Chloroplast

organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis, plastid containing chlorophyll and other pigments

Ribosome

small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein

Cytoplasm

the protoplasm of a cell excluding the nucleus

Chromatin

the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins

Spindle

(biology) tiny fibers that are seen in cell division

Golgi Apparatus

a net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions)
