tiny cell structures that each have specific jobs | Organelles |
thin strands of material that fill the nucleus and contain information for dircting cell's functions | Chromatin |
where ribosomes are made | Nucleolus |
small grain shaped organelles that produce protiens | Ribosomes |
thick, clear, gel-like fluid that moves constantly within a cell, carrying along the nucleus and other organelles | Cytoplasm |
Convert energy stored in food energy the cell can use to live in function "powerhouse" | Mitochondria |
A network of membranes that produce many substances; also help ribosomes make proteins | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Recieves proteins from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or to outside the cell. Also known as the "Post Office" | Golgi Apparatus |
Water filled sac that stores food, water, or other materials needed by the cell. Also store waste products until the wastes are removed. | Vacuole |
Captures energy from sunlight and changes it to a form of energy cells can use in making food | Chloroplast |
