Terms to Know	Definitions
cytoplasm	gel-like material inside the cell - mostly water
smooth endoplasmic reticulum	acts as a pathway throughout the cytoplasm - lacks ribosomes
mitochondrion	the powerhouse of the cell, where respiration takes place
nucleus	headquarters or control center of the cell - contains chromosomes made of DNA
lysosome	suicide sacks - help dissolve harmful bacteria
centrioles	aid in cell division - animal cells only
rough endoplasmic reticulum	has ribosomes that produce necessary proteins for the cell
cell wall	provide support and protection for a plant cell
cell membrane	flexible outer layer that seperates a cell from its environment - controls what enters and leaves the cell
vacuole	storage bubble that holds food, water and wastes - small in animal cells, large in plant cells
chloroplast	contain chlorophyll - traps sunlight to make food - plant cells only
