| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Contains Genetic Material |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Processes and transports proteins and makes lipis |
| Golgi Complex | Packages and distributes materials within or out of the cell |
| Ribosomes | Makes proteins |
| Chloroplast | Uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make food by photosynthesis (Plant Cells) |
| Mitochondrion | Breaks down food molecules to release energy by cellular respiration |
| Large central vauole | Stores water and helps give shape to the cell |
| Prokaryotic | Unicellular, Ex. Bacteria |
| Cell membrane | Surrounds and protects the cell, Controls the movement of substances (i.e. water) in and out of the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly-like material that contains the organelles, Distributes materials such as oxygen and food to different parts of the cell. |
