| Nucleus | "Brain" of the cell because it controls all the activities in the cell.- contains the DNA |
| Chromosome (DNA) | Tells the directions for which proteins to make.Gives the traits for the cell/organism.(like a recipe for cake) |
| Mitochondria | Provides energy for the cell to use so it's referred to as the "Powerhouse" of the cell (like a battery) |
| Chloroplast (Plants only) | Traps energy from the sun and turns it into food energy (Photosynthesis) |
| Ribosome | Proteins are made here (like a kitchen where dinner is made) |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Transports substances through out the cell (like the subway system of the cell) |
| Golgi (apparatus,body or complex) | Packages substances to be shipped throughout the cell. (like a post office for the cell) |
| Lysosomes | Contain digestive enzymes. (like a stomach) |
| Vacuole | Stores food, water, or wastes (like a refrigerator or trash can) |
| Cell Wall (Plant cell only) | Supports the cell (like the walls of a house) |
| Cytoskeleton | Provides structure and frmework for the cell (like our skeleton does for us) |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly-like substance that fills inside of cell and holds the organelles in place. (like jello in a jello fruit salad) |
| Cell Membrane | Controls what moves in and out of the cell (like a gate in a fence) |
