| Chloroplast | Makes glucose, a sugar the cell uses to get energy |
| Golgi Apparatus | Used for preparation of proteins for their jobs in the cell |
| Cell membrane | A cover that is used to protect the cell from outside forces |
| Cell wall | Used to protect the cell from viruses |
| Cytoskeleton | Proteins that are joined together and help the cell move |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Used to create and store steroids |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Used in the storing of proteins |
| Lysosome | Used to digest things in the cell |
| Centriole | Used to help the cell when it splits and divides |
| DNA | Contains the genetic information about the cell |
| Flagellum | The tail on bacterial cell used for moving the cell |
| Capsule | The bacterial cell is encased in it |
| Prokaryotic Cell | Cells that are not encased by a membrane and are usually multi celled |
| Eukaryotic Cell | Cells that are surrounded by a membrane |
| Organelles | Parts of a cell with specialized functions |
| Unicellular | Has one cell |
| Multicellular | Has more than one cell |
| Nuclear Membrane | Protects and surrounds the nucleus |
| Nuclear Envelope | Keeps the items inside the Nucleus |
| Nucleolus | Contains the DNA stored within the Nucleous |
