| endoplasmic reticulum | This network of passageways carries materials form one part of the cell to another. |
| cell wall | In a plant cell, a stiff wall surrounds the membrane, giving the cell a rigid boxlike shape. A cell wall helps protect and support the cell. |
| chloroplasts | These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. |
| vacuole | This sac within the cytoplasm stores water, food, waste products and other materials. Storage area of the cells. |
| cell membrane | This membrane protects the cell and regulates what substances enter and leave the cell. |
| nucleus | Directs all of the cell’s activities. |
| cytoplasm | Includes a gel-like fluid in which many different organelles are found |
| mitochondria | Most of the cell’s energy is produced within these rod-shaped organelles. "powerhouse" of the cell |
| cells | The basic unit of structure and function in living things |
| organelle | A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell |
| golgi body | The Golgi bodies receive materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell. They also release materials outside the cell. |
| ribosome | These small structures function as factories to produce proteins. They may be attached to endoplasmic reticulum or float in the cytoplasm. |
