Parts of the Cell Cell Part Function Cell (plasma) membrane controls entry into and out of cell Cell wall shapes and supports a plant cell Chlorophyll traps light and is used to produce food for plants Chloroplasts food for plant cells is made here Chromosomes contains code which guides all cell activities Cytoplasm jellylike substance within cell Endoplasmic reticulum surface for chemical activity Golgi bodies stores and releases chemicals Lyosome digestion center mircotubule hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cell Mitochondria "powerhouse" of cell Nuclear membrane holds nucleus together Nucleolus spherical body within nucleus Nucleus chromosomes are found here Plastid stores food or contains pigment Ribosomes where proteins are made Vacuole contains water and dissolved minerals Parts of a Cell Cell Part Description Function Cell (plasma) membrane Semi-permeable membrane surrounding cell Selects what enters cell - traffic cop Nucleus Contains information Spherical, often in center, bounded to run cell - cell’s by membrane brain or computer Cytoplasm Semi-fluid medium between plasma and nuclear membranes Jellylike substance within cell - contains organelles Vacuole Membrane-bound sac Stores food and waste - cell’s warehouse Cell wall (plant cells only) Fibers of cellulose Shapes and supports a plant cell Plastid Contain pigments Determines color Parts of a Cell (Advanced) Cell Part Function Cell (plasma) membrane controls entry into and out of cell Cell wall shapes and supports a plant cell Chlorophyll traps light and is used to produce food for plants Chloroplasts food for plant cells is made here Chromosomes contains code which guides all cell activities Cytoplasm jellylike substance within cell Endoplasmic reticulum surface for chemical activity Golgi bodies stores and releases chemicals Lyosome digestion center mircotubule hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cell Mitochondria "powerhouse" of cell Nuclear membrane holds nucleus together Nucleolus spherical body within nucleus Nucleus chromosomes are found here Plastid stores food or contains pigment Ribosomes where proteins are made Vacuole contains water and dissolved minerals
