Cytoskeleton Proteins, fibers, and tubes that extend throughout the Cytoplasm, giving structure to the cell.
Nucleus The "center" of the cell; holds Chromatin that allows the cell to run and create new cells.
ATP Adenosine Triphosphate
Chromatin The genetic material of the cell needed to make new cells and run the cell.
Nuclear envelope outer layer of Nucleus; separates the Nucleus from Cytoplasm
Nuclear pore hole in Nuclear envelope that allows compounds in and out of the Nucleus.
Eukaryotes Cells with a nucleus; plants and animals
Prokaryotes Cells without a nucleus; bacteria (unicellular organisms)
Ribosome Builds protein by connecting amino acids; works in assembly line.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Has ribosomes on its surface; builds proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum builds lipids; processes carbohydrates; Modifies chemiclas that are toxic to the cell
Golgi Apparatus Checks and fixes molecules the ER makes; The cell's "packaging center".
Mitochondria Changes energy stored in food into Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that the cell could use.
Lysosome Digests old organelles and large molecules of carbs, proteins, and lipids.
