Cells
| Cell wall | Supports the cell membrane |
|---|---|
| Cell membrane | Separates cell from environment |
| Nucleus | Control center, directs cells activites |
| Nuclear membrane | Protects the nucleus |
| Nucleolus | Dark round structure inside nucleus, produces ribosomes |
| Chromosomes | Contain genetic material, contains instructions that directs functions of cell. |
| Cytoplasm | Holds and moves the organelle |
| Chloroplast | Captures Suns energy to produce sugar, sight of photosynthesis |
| Mitochondrion | Contains the cells food into chemical energy, site of most energy production or power source |
| Ribosomes | Synthesize for producing proteins |
| Endoplasmic retculum | Assembles proteins and lipids and transports them thought the cell Rough er: houses ribosomes which produce proteins Smooth er: makes lipids; breaks down toxins. |
| Golgi apparatus | Modifies salts, and packages proteins and lipids through the er. |
| Vacuoles | Stores water, salts, proteins,food, and waste products. |
| Vesicles | Store and move materials between organelles |
| Lysosome | Breaks down old or damaged organelles, gets rid of waste materials |
| Cytoskeleton | Give cell its shape and prevent cell from collapsing |
| Centrioles | Helps organize cell division |
