AB
NucleusControl center, contains DNA
NucleolusBegins assembly of ribosomes
Nuclear membraneControls flow of material into and out of nucleus
CytoplasmHolds organelles in place
Cell membraneRegulates flow of material into and out of cell, provides support and protection
Cell wallProvides rigid support and protection for plant cells
MitochondriaMakes energy
ChloroplastCaptures energy from sun and turns it into chemical energy in plants
RibosomeMakes proteins
Smooth ERmakes lipid parts for the cell membrane, shuttles materials to organelles
Rough ERmodifies, transports, and stores proteins, has ribosomes
Golgi apparatusModifies, sorts, and packages proteins to make hormones and enzymes
LysosomesDigest waste materials and old organelles
VacuolesStore materials like water, salt, proteins, and carbohydrates
CytoskeletonSupports and maintains shape of cell, involved in movement
CentriolesHelp in cell division in animals
Prokaryotea cell without a nucleus
Eukaryotea cell with a nucleus
Stem cella blank cell that can become any cell type
Differentiationthe process in which blank cells gain a function
Organ systema group of organs that work together
Organellea tiny organ within a cell with a special funtion
