cell membrane | the membrane helps hold the cell together and controls materials going and out of the cell |
cell wall | Provides protection and gives the plant cell added structure. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) | Helps produce protein and DNA structures. |
Golgi Complex | Package and transport materials out of the cell |
Mitochondria | "Power plant". Provides energy for cell processes. |
Chloroplasts | Uses sunlight to make food for the plant. |
Lysosomes | Contain digestive enzymes to break down materials. |
Vacuole | Storage sac for food, water, or waste |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) | Detoxifies harmful substances. |
Cytoskeleton | Provides transportation for cells. |
chromosomes | Contains an organism’s entire gnome, or genetic material. |
