Cells and Their Organelles
The cell is the basic unit of life. The following is a glossary of animal cell
terms. All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. The cell membrane is
semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Color
and label the cell membrane tan. Plant cells have an additional layer surrounding
them called the cell wall. The cell wall is made of nonliving material called cellulose.
Color and label the cell wall brown. The centrosome (also called the "microtubule
organizing center") is a small body located near the nucleus. The centrosome is
where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), the centrosome
divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole
is the dense center of the centrosome. Only animal cells have centrosomes. Color
and label the centrioles purple. Microtubules are shaped like soda straws and give
the nucleus and cell its shape. Label the microtubules inside the nucleus.
