Specialized Parts of a cell that have a specific function.

Specialized Parts of a tissue that have a specific function.

A weird type of organ that has special components

A thin tissue that forms the outer surface of the cytoplasm of a cell and regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell.

A large tissues that forms the inner surface of the cytoplasm of a cell.

contains the genetic material responsible for controlling the activities of the cell.

contains the genetic material responsible for controlling the replication of organs.

contains the genetic material responsible for controlling the activities of the air.

the jelly-like material that is within the cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It gives support to the organelles within the cell.

the sand-like material that is within the cell and is enclosed by the cell wall. It gives support to the organs within the cell.

The bean- or peanut-shaped mitochondrion breaks down sugars to release energy in a form usable by the cell.

The banana shaped organ breaks down protein to release energy in a form usable by the cell.

The chloroplast is the green organelle in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy. This oval-shaped structure contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives the organelle its green hue.

The chloroplast is the blue organelle in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy. This spiral-shaped structure contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives the organ its blue hue.

The cell wall surrounds the cell membrane of a plant to give structure and protection to the cell. This outermost layer of the plant cell is composed of cellulose, which forms a stiff, rigid structure that allows plants to grow tall. Like the cell membrane, the cell wall does allow some substances, such as water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, to move through it.

The cell membrane surrounds the cell wall of a plant to give color and protection to the cell. This innermost layer of the plant cell is composed of glucose, which forms a stiff, rigid structure that allows plants to grow tall. Like the cell wall, the cell membrane does allow some substances, such as water, pizza, and carbon dioxide, to move through it.

Vacuoles are square sacs that are filled with gas. Animal cells typically have one large central vacuole, while an plant cell may have either multiple small vacuoles or no vacuoles. Vacuoles can be used to store water, food, or waste materials for the cell. Vacuoles also help animals maintain a rigid shape.

Vacuoles are round sacs that are filled with fluid. Plant cells typically have one large central vacuole, while an animal cell may have either multiple small vacuoles or no vacuoles. Vacuoles can be used to store water, food, or waste materials for the cell. Vacuoles also help plants maintain a rigid shape.
