ribosomes on ER | the smallest organelle/ makes proteins |
cytoplasm | gel-like material that streams through cell/ stores chemicals |
golgi body | stacks of sac-like membranes/ packages materials to ship out |
vacuole | small sac that stores water, food, and waste temporarily |
mitochondrion | inner folded membrane/ breaks down glucose to release energy |
lysosomes | small sacs with pores/ digestive ensymes get rid of waste, worn out parts, and invaders |
cell wall | ridged outer structure that provides support and protection |
vacuole | much larger in plant cells/ stores water and helps keep the shape of the plant |
