-
storage for water and food
also others are storage for wastes - nuclear membrane
- outside covering of the nucleus
- nucleolus
-
site of ribosome production
- ribosomes
- protein making sites of the cell
- lysosomes
- contain enzymes that break down large food molecules into smaller ones which are passed to the mitochondria
- cell membrane
-
provides protection and support to cell
the outside covering - endoplasmic reticulum
- tubular passageways to carry proteins from one part of the cell to another
- nucleus
-
the control center of the cell
the brain - chromosomes
-
inside the nucleus
directs all activities of the dcell such as growth and reproduction
passes traits from parent to child - cell wall
- helps to protect and support plants
- cytoplasm
- region between the nucleus and the cell membrane
