---|---|
ribosomes (ry-bo-zomes) | produces protein |
cell membrane | protective barrier that encloses the cell |
chloroplast | uses energy from Sun to make food (photosynthesis) (in plants only) |
lysosomes (lie-so-zomes) | destroys worn out organelles; attacks foreign envaders; digests food {recycling center --or-- Suicide Sacks} |
endoplasmic reticulum | makes lipids (fats); assists in production processing; transports proteins |
cell wall | structure that surrounds the cell membrane & provide support to the cell |
Gogi complex (Gogi apparatus) | processes & transports protein other materials out of the cells {UPS services} |
mitochondria | breaks down food to make ADP (energy "power house"; think of MIGHTY MITOchondria) |
nucleus | control center of the cell (stores cell's DNA) |
vacuoles | stores water & aides in digestion } |
