Cell Part Chart
Cell Part
Structure
(Diagram required)
Function
(What does it do?)
Selectively permeable, phospholipid bilayer
that controls the movement of material into and
out of ALL cells.
Cell
Membrane
Provides shape and support; contains cellulose
in plants, chitin in fungal cells, peptidoglycan
in bacterial cells.
Cell Wall
with Cellulose
Location
(No Diagram)
Membrane-bound organelle that stores the
DNA, RNA, and nucleolus of eukaryotic cells.
Nucleus
Site of ribosome production
Nucleolus
A linear molecule of DNA wrapped around
proteins in non-dividing cells; controls protein
production
Chromatin
Cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton
(No Diagram)
Water-based solution that fills the area between
the cell membrane and the nucleus of the cell;
location of many cell organelles, the
cytoskeleton, and many chemical reactions
A network of protein filaments and tubules in
ALL cells that provides internal support and
helps to move materials within the cell and to
move cells.
Cell Part
Structure
Location
Function
Sites of proteins synthesis. Proteins intended to
stay in the cell are synthesized by free-floating
ribosomes.
Ribosomes
Mitochondria
Membrane-bound organelle that is the site of
aerobic respiration.
Rough
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
A network of folded membranes-bound sacs
that extend from the nuclear membrane and is
studded with ribosomes; synthesizes proteins
that will be exported to the Golgi body for
processing.
Smooth
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
A network of folded membrane that extends
from the nuclear membrane; synthesizes lipids.
(R.E.R.)
(S.E.R.)
Golgi Body
Vesicles
Lysosomes
Vacuoles
(in animal cells)
Flattened membrane-bound sacs that package
proteins from the Rough E.R. into vesicles and
help to metabolize lipids.
Membrane-bound containers that transport
materials within cells and out of cells.
A membrane-bound vesicle that contain
digestive enzymes to break down molecules
within the cell.
Membrane-bound containers that store water,
wastes, and other materials.
Cell Part
Central
Vacuole
Centrioles
Chloroplasts
Chromoplasts
Amyloplasts
Structure
Location
Function
A large membrane-bound container that
occupies approx. 30-80% of the cells volume;
Stores water and other materials and helps to
maintain turgor pressure.
Bundles of microtubules in animal cells that
help to move chromosomes during cell
division.
Membrane-bound plant organelles that contains
chlorophyll; Site of Photosynthesis
Membrane-bound plant organelles that contains
carotenoid pigments that create the orange,
yellow, and red colors of plant parts.
Non-pigment membrane-bound plant organelles
that produce and store amylose (starch).
