Cell Structure and Function
Cell Membrane
Regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell Wall
Supports and protects the cell
ChloroplastsCaptures sunlight and converts
it into chemical energy during photosynthesis; contains chlorophyll.
Cytoplasm
Jelly-like material inside the cell membrane that holds the organelles.
Cytoskeleton
Helps cell maintain its shape and is involved in cell movement.
Endoplasmic ReticulumMembrane system where
proteins are transported.Can be Rough ER (protein
synthesis) or Smooth ER (lipid synthesis).
Golgi Body/Apparatus
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the ER
Lysosome
Filled with enzymes used to break down food, waste, and cell organelles that no longer function.
Mitochondria
Produces energy for the cell
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes (located inside the nucleus)
Nucleus
Contains DNA and controls the cells activities
Ribosome
Makes proteins
Vacuole
Stores water, food, and waste
