Explanation
A mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria) is a tiny organelle inside a cell, often called the "powerhouse of the cell," that takes food and breaks it down to create energy for the cell to use.
A membrane is a thin layer of tissue that covers, lines, or separates other layers.
Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills most of the space inside a cell, between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes.
Centrioles are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.
Vacuoles are storage areas for cells and important cell parts.
A "nucleus" in a cell is like the control center, where all the important information about the cell is stored, including its DNA, which acts as the instructions for the cell's activities; it's essentially the "brain" of the cell and is located near the center of the cell.
A cell wall is a tough, protective layer that surrounds plant cells, giving them structure and support, kind of like a plant's skeleton, and is made mostly of a material called cellulose; it helps the plant stand tall and keep its shape.
A cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, is a thin, semipermeable barrier that surrounds every living cell and separates the cell's interior from the outside environment.
Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills most of the space inside a cell, between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It is made up of water, salts, and various organic molecules, and is about 80% water. The word "cytoplasm" comes from the words "cyto" and "plasm", which mean "cell" and "stuff" respectively.
A chloroplast is a tiny organelle found inside plant cells that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into food (sugar) for the plant, through a process called photosynthesis; it's like the plant's "kitchen" and contains a green pigment called chlorophyll that helps it capture the sun's energy.
A plant mitochondrion is a tiny organelle inside a plant cell that acts like the "powerhouse" of the cell, taking in nutrients and turning them into energy that the plant can use to grow and function, similar to how a battery provides power to a device; it's where most of the cell's energy is produced through a process called cellular respiration.
A plant nucleus is a membrane-bound structure inside a plant cell that acts like the "control center" by storing the cell's genetic information (DNA) and directing its activities, like growth and reproduction; essentially, it's where all the instructions for the plant cell are kept.
A plant vacuole is a large, fluid-filled sac inside a plant cell that acts like a storage area, holding water, food, and waste products, and helps maintain the plant cell's shape by regulating water pressure within it; essentially, it's like a big bubble inside the cell that keeps the plant from wilting.
