Cytoplasm | The cytoplasmis the region between the cell membrane and necleus. It is a gellish fluid. |
Mitochondria | The mitochondria is the power housebof the cell. They convert energy into food. |
Endoplasm reticulum | The endoplasmic reticulum carries protiens through hallway like passages. |
Ribosomes | Are attached to some surfaces of endoplasmic reticulum or float around in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes factories produce protiens. |
Golgi body | Recieves protiens and other newly formed materials from materials from the endoplasmic reticulum package them and distrubute them to other parts of the cell. |
Chloroplast | Can be found only in plants. Chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use it to produce food for the cel. |
Vacuole | They are found in the cytoplasm. They are the storage for the cell. |
Lysosomes | They are small round structures containing chemicals thatbreakdown certain materials in the cell. |
