cell wallencloses the cell membrane of plant cells; protects and supports plant cells
chloroplastscontain the green liquid pigment chlorophyll; capture sunlight for making food in plant cells
chromosomeslocation of instructions for all cell activities; directs cell activities; made of DNA
cytoplasmjelly-like material in which cell parts constantly move; area outside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)"tunnels" that transport material through the cytoplasm
eukaryoticcells with membrane-bound structures
Golgi bodiespackage and move proteins outside the cell
lysosomescontain digestive enzymes that break down food particles and waste
mitochondria"powerhouses" of cells; produce most of the energy of a cell
nuclear membranesurrounds the nucleus; allows substances to enter and leave the nucleus
nucleuscontrols all of the functions of plant and animal cells; control center
prokaryoticdescribes a cell that does not have a nucleus or anyother membrane-covered organelles; bacteria and some algae
ribosomestiny structures in the cytoplasm where proteins are made
vacuolesmostly in plant cells; store water and nutrients for the cell; very large in plant cells; "storage tanks"
