| cell membrane | protects inside of cell by separating from surroundings; most importantly, controls what enters and leaves the cell; prevents harmful substances from entering and keeps bad ones out |
| cell wall | provides support and protection for the cell, allowing the plant to grow upright; PLANTS |
| nucleus | guides most of the cell's activities; DNA is stored here; directs cell production |
| cytoplasm | where most cell process take place; most materials needed for growth are here; living |
| organelles | each organelle has a special job to do |
| mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell; make the energy from food available so the cell can use it to carry out its life processes |
| ribosomes | tiny round dark organelles; assemble proteins which are used for growth, repair, and control |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | form a network of tubes throughout the cell; is used to transport materials throughout the cell |
| Golgi body | center of manufacturing and shipping within the cell |
| lysosome | break down large food molecules; garbage collectors |
| vacuole | store water and food materials; gets rid of and stores wastes |
| chloroplasts | contain clorophyll; used for photosynthesis PLANTS |
