Vocabulary Word Actual Definition 1. Cell Membrane It protects, supports, and controls movement of substances in and out of the cell. 2. Cell Wall The rigid, outermost layer of a plant cell. 3. Chloroplast A small, oval, green organelle that contains chlorophyll and is where photosynthesis occurs. 4. Mitochondria The part of a cell that controls growth and reproduction; “powerhouse” 5. Nucleus The control center of a cell that directs the cell’s activities and contains the information that determines the cell’s form and function;“brain” Example/Picture 6. Vacuole These are the storage tanks for the cell - they store water, food, waste, enzymes, etc; “locker” 7. Cytoplasm A gel-like substance that holds all the cell's organelles, except for the nucleus. These are the protein factories of the cell - This is where amino acids are combined to make the proteins our bodies need to survive. 9. Endoplasmic Reticulum The transportation system for the cell - helps to move substances through the cytoplasm within the cell. 8. Ribosome 10. Golgi Body They receive proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, package them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell or outside of the cell. These structures can be thought of as the cell's mailroom. 11. Chromosomes They direct the production of proteins in the cell and are responsible for cell growth and reproduction. They are found in the nucleus. 12. Cell The basic unit of structure and function in a living thing. 13. Organelles Tiny structures that cells are made of.
