Educational chart detailing cell components, their roles, and fun nicknames.

- Cell wall: Surrounds and protects the cell, providing structural support and rigidity.
- Cell membrane: Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
- Cytoplasm: Contains organelles and is the site of many cellular processes; facilitates movement within the cell.
- Mitochondria: Generate energy (ATP) through cellular respiration to power cellular activities.
- Chloroplasts: Conduct photosynthesis by converting sunlight into chemical energy (glucose) using chlorophyll.
- Vacuoles: Store nutrients, water, ions, and waste products; help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.
- Nucleus: Houses genetic material (DNA) and controls gene expression and cellular functions.
- Nuclear membrane: Encloses the nucleus and regulates transport of molecules between nucleus and cytoplasm.
- Chromosomes: Carry genetic information and direct protein synthesis and cell division.
