cytoplasm | fluid inside the cell |
nucleus | controls the functions of the cell through DNA |
mitochondria | generates energy for the cell to do work |
endoplasmic reticulum | transports proteins |
Golgi apparatus | packages proteins |
ribosomes | make proteins |
nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
cytoskeleton | provides structure and support for the cell |
lysosome | digests wastes & damaged cell parts |
vacuole | stores materials for the cell |
chloroplast | found in plant cells; produces food |
cell wall | found in plant cells; provides support |
centrioles | found in animal cells; used during cell division |
flagella | used for movement; long & whip-like |
