Chloroplast- convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process
cell wall- external layer that is specifically designed to provide structural support and rigidity
Microtubules- extend throughout the cell providing it with proper shape and keeping the organelles in place
golgi vesicles- protein gets packed into them and gets sent to the cell membrane
Golgi apparatus- packs and modifies protein.
Nucleolus- a spherical structure found in the cell's nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell's ribosomes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum- a cellular organelle composed of many folds of tissues and channels. It provides surface area for chemical reactions to take place. It is rough because its surface is covered in ribosomes.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum- makes cellular products like hormones and lipids.
Mitochondria- referred to as the powerhouse of the cell, they break down food into usable energy for cells. This energy source is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Vacuole- acts as a storage space for water and other molecules in the cell.
cytoplasm- a watery, gel-like substance made of mostly salt and water that provides a structure for the cell parts so they can move freely
cell membrane- a thin but tough wall surrounding the cell. It allows useful substances to enter the cell. But it blocks the entry of harmful substances.
Ribosomes- Site of protein synthesis in the cell.
Nucleus- contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell.
Chlorophyl makes chloroplasts green
ER is making and shipping ribosomes around the inside of the cell
vacuole responsible for storing water waste and nutrients
