Nucleus

- Large Oval body near the centre of the cell.

- The control centre for all activity.

- Surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Nucleoplasm

- is the protoplasm in the nucleus.

- contains genetic material ---> CHROMOSOMES (DNA)

Nucleolus

- is found in the nucleus.

- contains more genetic information (RNA)

Cell Membrane

- the outer boundary of the cell.

- it separates the cell from other cells.

- it is porous ---> allows molecules to pass through.

Cell Wall ( Plant Cells Only )

- non living structure that surrounds the plant cell.

- protects + supports the cell.

- made up of a tough fibre called cellulose.

Cyto Plasm

- cell material outside the nucleus but within the cell membrane.

- clear thick fluid.

- contains structures called organelles.

Vacuoles

- are clear fluid sacs that act as storage areas for food, minerals, and waste.

- in plant cell the vacuoles are large and mostly filled with water. This gives the plant support.

- in animal cells the vacuoles are much smaller.

Mitochondria

- power house of the cell.

- centre of respiration of the cell.

- they release energy for cell functions.

Chloro Plasts ( Plant cells only )

- contains a green pigment known as chlorophyll which is important for photosynthesis.

Ribosomes

- tiny spherical bodies that help make proteins.

- found in the cyto plasm or attached to the endo plasmic reticulum.

Endo Plasmic Reticulum ( ER )

- systems of membranes throughout the cyto plasm.

- it connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane.

- passageway for material moving though the cell.

Golgi Bodies

- tube like structures that have tiny sacs at their ends.

- they help package protein.

Lysosomes

- " suicide sacs "

- small structures that contain enzymes which are used in digestion.

- if a lysosome were to burst it could destroy the cell.
