| every cell comes in different shapes and sizes | comparing cells |
| the type of cell with no membrane-bound structures is called | prokaryotic |
| the type of cell with membrane-bound structures(most cells) is called | eukaryotic |
| tough, rigid, outer covering that protects the cell and gives it shape | cell wall |
| like the brain of a cell; directs all of the cells activities; found in DNA | nucleus |
| the energy processing organelles where plant cell food is made | chloroplasts |
| the energy processing organelles that break down food to release energy | mitochondria |
| the manufacturing organelles that make protein | ribosomes |
| the organelle that transports materials between the nucleus and the cell membrane | endoplasmic reticulum |
| the organelle that stores food, water, waste products, etc.(like a storage unit) | vacuoles |
| the organelle that packages up protein | golgibodies |
| the recycling organelle that digests and breaks down substances; when a cell dies, they release chemicals into dead cells to break it down | lysosomes |
