Region between the nucleus
and the cell membrane; a
jellylike substance that contains
many organelles
Lg. oval structure contains
nucleolus & chromatin
Surrounds the nucleus
1. protect nucleus
Nucleus
Nuclear Membrane
Chromatin
Cell Wall
Cell Membrane
Thin strands of genetic material
floating inside the nucleus
Strong, flexible layer of
nonliving material outside the
cell membrane; made of
cellulose
Outermost living layer, flexible
and elastic with pores
Found in Plant,
Animal or Both

Capture energy from the sun;
use it to produce food for the
cell
Plants
Chloroplasts
Endoplasmic reticulum
Maze of passageways
Both
Golgi Bodies
Flattened collection of sacs &
tubes
Ribosomes
Small grain-like bodies
Lysosomes
Small round structures that
contain chemicals
Carry proteins & other
materials
Receive materials from the
endoplasmic reticulum and
send them to other parts of
the cell. They also release
materials outside the cell.
“MAILROOM” of the cell
Produces proteins (building
blocks for cell)
Breaks down food / lg.
particles into smaller ones;
also can be considered the
“garbage disposer” of the
cell.
