controls the movement of material into and out of the cell
Term
cell wall
Definition
used to support plant cell, very thick with large holes in the wall
Term
nucleus
Definition
control center of the cell  home of DNA
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
holds all the organelles lies between the nucleus and plasma membrane
