mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell; produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions |
vacuole | stores food and water, waste, and other materials |
ribosome | assembles amino acids to create proteins |
smooth E.R. | no ribosomes |
rough E.R. | has ribosomes |
cell membrane | controls what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal cells |
Golgi apparatus/Golgi body | receives protein & materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them |
cytoplasm | gel-like fluid where the organelles are found |
cell wall | rigid outer layer of a plant cell |
chloroplasts | captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food in plant cells |
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) | Has passageways that carry protein and other materials from one part of the cell to another |
chromatin | tiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instruction for directing the cell's functions |
nucleolus | found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes |
lysosomes | uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts |
