| macromolecule | large molecule |
| chlorophyll | pigment responsible for trapping light energy in photosynthesis |
| photosynthesis | process by which organisms use light energy to produce organic compounds |
| organelle | structure in eukaryotic cells that has a specialized function |
| ribosome | receive information from the nucleus to make specific proteins. They can be found attached to the ER or throughout the cell free. |
| chloroplast | organelle that uses light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. photosynthesis occurs in these structures |
| golgi complex | accepts vesicles from the ER and modifies the material to perform a specific job. After modification the vesicles are shipped to three separate destinations |
| mitochondria | organelle that produces much of the ATP made by a eukaryotic cell |
| endoplasmic reticulum | (ER) stores materials (amino acids) for ribosomes to synthesize proteins. A series of interconnecting canals that provide routes of transport from one part of a cell to another. |
| cell membrane | a thin structure that surrounds the cell. Lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that encloses the cytoplasm; essential to the cell's cytoplasm: also called the plasma membrane |
