|
I am the trash collector for the animal cell. I keep the cell clean by breaking down waste.
|
Lysosomes
|
|
I maintain the perimeter of the plant cell, like a fence, by providing structure and shape.
|
Cell wall
|
|
I am very large in the plant cell. I store much needed water and nutrients.
|
Vacuole
|
|
I'm much like a green solar panel. I use the sun to create energy for the plant cell.
|
Chloroplasts
|
|
I am a gel-like substance that holds all of the organelles in the cell.

|
Without me, the cytoplasm would be flat! I hold up the cytoplasm similar to framing a new house or building.

Nucleus
|
|
I'm found in the nucleus. My job is to make ribosomes for the cell.

I'm found in the nucleus. I look like tiny strands of rope. I carry the genetic material, DNA, needed for cells to replicate.
|
Chromosomes
|
|
I'm like a gatekeeper. I decide what passes in and out of the cell.
|
Cell membrane
|
|
I'm a transport system consisting of many pathways. I transport material throughout the cell.
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
|
I'm a go-getter! I am constantly producing proteins. I'm found in several places in the cell--in the cytoplasm, on the rough ER, and in the nucleolus.
|
Ribosomes
|
|
I'm only found in animal cells. I am very important when the cell is ready to divide.
|
Centrioles
|
|
I'm constantly receiving materials that need to be packaged and then sent back through the cell or out of the cell.
