Biology

• Cytoplasm


  Contains organelles and chemical reactions take place within it.
• Cell membrane

  supports and allows some substances to enter while keeping others out, called a semi-permeable membrane
• Nucleus


  Contains genetic material (chromosomes which control all activity of the cell)
• Mitochondria


  Converts glucose into energy through cellular respiration
• Endoplasmic reticulum


  A network of membrane-covered channels that transport materials made in the cell; is connected to the nucleus
• Golgi body


  Sorts and packages proteins for travel outside of the cell, secretes substances
• Vacuole


  Contain water and other materials and are used to store or transport small molecules, maintain internal pressure of cell (turgor)
• Cell wall


  A porous structure made out of cellulose which helps to protect the internals of the cell
• Chloroplast


  Contain chlorophyll and give plants the green colour, most importantly they absorb the sun's energy for photosynthesis
• Ribosome


  Help produce proteins
• Cell


  Made up of smaller components called organelles
• Organelle 


  Structure that carries out specific functions to support the life of a cell.
