| A | B |
|---|
| Nucleus | Contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell’s activities |
| Cell Membrane | Regulates what enters and leaves the cell; Provides protection and support |
| Cell Wall | Provides support and protection to a plant cell |
| Chloroplasts | Capture energy form sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis |
| Cytoplasm | Gel-like fluid that contains the cell’s organelles; maintains shape and provides support |
| Mitochondria | Convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use |
| Vacuoles | Store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| Lysosomes | Breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell and breakdown of organelles that have outlived their usefulness |
| Golgi Apparatus | Modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | The site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell |
| Ribosomes | Produce proteins |
| Chromosomes | Contain genetic information that is passes from one generation of cells to the next |
