| Cell parts where proteins are made | ribosomes |
| Cell parts that help with reproduction | centrioles |
| The thick outer covering outside the cell membrane | cell wall |
| The cell part that helps make ribosomes | nucleolus |
| Part that gives the cell shape and holds the cytoplasm | cell membrane |
| A liquid filled space that stores food, water, and minerals | vacuole |
| Cell parts that contain chlorophyll | chloroplasts |
| Structure that surrounds the nucleus and separates it from the rest of the cell | nuclear membrane |
| Cell part that controls most of the cell’s activities | nucleus |
| Cell parts that produce energy when food is broken down | mitochondria |
