CELLS, CELLS,

THEY’RE MADE OF
ORGANELLES!
 Cell Wall
• The rigid, nonliving outer layer of • Plant Cells - YES
the plant cell. • Animal Cells - NO
• Supports and protects the cell.
 Cell Membrane
• The outermost living layer of the • Plant Cells - YES
cell. • Animal Cells - YES
• Controls what enters and exits
the cell.
 Cytoplasm
• The jelly-like liquid outside the • Plant Cells - YES
nucleus. • Animal Cells - YES
• Contains most of the cells
organelles.
 Nucleus
• Controls cell activities (the brain • Plant Cells - YES
of the cell!) • Animal Cells - YES
• Contains genes and DNA of the
cell.
 Nucleolus
• The rounded structure inside the • Plant Cells - YES
nucleus. • Animal Cells - YES

 Nuclear Envelope
• A membrane that encloses the • Plant Cells - YES
nucleus. • Animal Cells - YES
• Controls what enters and exits
the nucleus.
 Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Folded membranes attached to • Plant Cells - YES
nucleus. • Animal Cells - YES

cytoplasm to nucleus.
 Ribosomes
• Small, round particles in cells • Plant Cells - YES
that create protein. • Animal Cells - YES
 Golgi Body
• Flattened, curved sacs near the • Plant Cells - YES
ER. • Animal Cells - YES
