nucleolus | stores materials that will be used to make ribosomes | found in the center of the nucleus |
ribosomes | makes proteins from amino acids | the smallest but most abundant organelle |
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | makes lipids and breaks down drugs | only in eukaryotic cells; called the internal delivery system |
mitochondria | breaks down food to make ATP | needs oxygen |
chloroplasts | photosynthesis occurs here | only found in plants and algae |
Golgi complex | processes, packages, and transports materials sent from ER | called the cell's packaging center |
vesicles | membrane covered compartments in eukaryotic cells | forms when part of the cell membrane surrounds an object and pinches off |
