| cell membrane | the outer boundary of all animal cells |
| nucleus | command center of most cells which contains the genetic material of that cell (DNA) |
| mitochondria | the powerhouses of the cell which release the energy stored in food |
| cytoplasm | jellylike material found in all cells (organelles float in it). |
| ribosome | an organelle in which protein synthesis takes place (makes protein which is used for growth, repair, and control) they can be found in the cytoplasm or on the ER |
| vacuole | organelle that stores food, water, and waste in the cell |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | roadways of the cell; used to transport items within the cell and to other cells. |
| lysosomes | the organelles found mainly in animal cells that help break down or digest food molecules, waste products, and old cells |
| Golgi Body | an organelle used for packaging proteins and storage of items such as proteins and fats. |
| chromosomes | threadlike strands in the nucleus that carry the genetic material to pass traits to offspring |
| cell wall | the stiff structure outside the cell membrane in a plant that provides support for the cell |
| chloroplast | an organelle in plants that contains chlorophyll |
| chlorophyll | green pigment in plants that capture’s the sun’s energy for photosynthesis |
