|---|---|
| ORGANELLES | specialized structures that performs important cellular functions |
| CYTOPLASM | everything between the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane |
| NUCLEAR ENVELOPE | regulates what enters and leaves the nucleus |
| CHROMATIN | granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins |
| CHROMOSOME | contains DNA;carries informations from generation to generation |

| MITOCHONDRION | converts food's chemical energy into compounds cells can use |
| CHLOROPLAST | captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy |
| CYTOSKELETON | network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement |
| CENTRIOLE | one of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope |
| CELL MEMBRANE | made of lipids and proteins; regulates what enters and leaves the cell |
