|---|
| Cell Membrane | Selectively permeable barrier between the cell and its surroundings |
| Cell Wall | Supportive structure on the outside of the cell membrane - only in plant cells |
| Nuclear Membrane | Semipermeable membrane that allows certain things into/out of the cell |
| Nucleus | "Brains of the cell" carries hereditary information and directs protein synthesis |
| Chromosomes | Carries DNA - hereditary information to be passed on between cell generations |
| Nucleolus | Located inside nucleus - makes ribosomes |
| Mitochondrion | "Powehouse" of the cell - releases energy from glucose for use by the cell |
| Chloroplast | Captures energy from sunlight and changes it into the chemical energy of glucose |
| Vacuole | Stores water, food, or waste - water vacuole is large in plant cells |
| Golgi Apparatus | Processes and transports proteins and other macromolecules across and out of cell |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Processes proteins and other macromolecules for transport across or out of the cell |
| Ribosomes | Make proteins for the cell |
| Lysosomes | Saclike organelle that is filled with enzymes to digest and break down any substance in cell |
