nuclear membrane | surrounds the nucleus; protects the nucleus |
vacuoles | clear fluid-filled sacks; stores materials and waste |
mitochondria | organelle--rod shaped (looks like the bottom of a shoe); uses oxygen to get the energy from food |
endoplasmic reticulum | organelle (long and thin, passageway like a maze); makes products needed by the cell, makes "deliveries" to other cell parts |
ribosomes | organelles (tiny and round, grain-like), sometimes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum; makes products needed by the cell |
golgi bodies | organelles--like stacks of hollow pancakes; "packages" products for delivery |
chromosomes | threadlike structures found in the nucleus; contains the genes and DNA that determine what a cell and organism does and looks like |
lysosome | clear sack; breaks down food molecules and waste |
cell wall | only in plants; outer barrier of the cell, contains cellulose (plant fiber); provides extra support and shape |
chloroplasts | only in plants; organelle (oval and green), contains chlorophyll (green pigment); chlorophyll captures sunlight, carry out photosynthesis to make food |
