By Bianca Martin-Hirsel Nucleus- control center for all activity. Nucleoplasm- contains chromosomes and DNA. Nucleolus- contains RNA. Cell membrane- separates the cell from other cells and allows molecules to pass through. Cell wall- protects and supports the cell. (Plant cells only) Cyto Plasm- contains organelles. Vacuoles- storage areas for food, minerals, and waste. Mitochondria- releases energy for functions. Chloro Plasts- contains chlorophyll used for photosynthesis. (Plant cells only) Ribosome- helps make proteins. Endo Plasmic Reticulum- connects nuclear membrane to the cell membrane and is a passage way for things passing through the cell. Golgi Bodies- help package protein. Lysosomes- “suicide sac” structures that contain enzymes in digestion. If one were to burst, it could destroy the cell. Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane.
