cell wall
rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organism; helps protect and support the cell
cell membrane
controls which substances pass into and out of a cell
nucleus
cell's control center and directs all cell activities
cytoplasm
jelly-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus; moves constantly within a cell, carrying along nucleus and other organelles
golgi apparatus (golgi body)
receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or to the outside of the cell
endoplasmic reticulum (er)
a network of membranes that is involved in making, modifying, and transportation of materials
ribosomes
small, grain shaped organelles that produce proteins
mitochondria
converts every stored in food to energy the cell can use to live and function; "powerhouse" of cell
vacuoles
stores food, water, or other materials needed by the cell; (some animal cells do not have vacuoles and they are much larger in plant cells)
lysosomes
contain substances that break down large food particles into smaller ones and also break down old cell parts and release substances to be used again
chloroplasts
captures energy from sunlight and changes it to a form of energy cells can use in the making of food
chromosome
DNA molecule found in the cell that contains some or all of the genetic information needed to make proteins
