| endoplasmic reticulum | the "highway system" of the cell. Transports protiens and other materials through the cell. |
| ribosomes | the place in the cell where protiens are made. |
| cell wall | helps give protection and support to the cell. |
| chloroplast | captures energy in sunlight and uses it to produce food. |
| cytoplasm | fills up the space of the cell outside the nucleus and inside the cell membrane- contains water, salts, enzymes, and protiens. |
| vacole | storage area in the cell. Contains water and dissolved minerals. (bigger in plants) |
| lysosomes | contains enzymes that break down large food molecules into smaller ones. |
| cell membrane | allows the cell to change shape under pressure and keeps the protoplasm seperated. Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell. |
| nucleus | control center of the cell |
| nuclear membrane | seperates the nucleus from the rest of the cell and allows certain materials into and out of the nucleus. |
| mitochondria | "powerhouses" of the cell, where cellular resperation takes place. ENERGY is produced and stored in energy rich molecules here. |
| nucleolus | storage area for the chemicals that are needed to make RNA and new protiens in the ribosomes. |
| chromosome | directs the activities of the cell and passes the traits of the cell onto new cells. |
