A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
Nucleus
Control center of the cell
Mitochondria
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
Ribosomes
Makes proteins
Chloroplast
organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
cell membrane
A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Cell
Basic unit of life
Vacuole
Cell organelle that stores materials such as water and nutrients.
Nucleolus
Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
Organelle
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
cell wall
A cell wall is a rigid layer just outside of the plasma membrane that provides support for the cell. It is found in plants, protists, bacteria, and fungi.
Centrioles
Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
Chromosomes
threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes
Golgi body
A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.
Lysosomes
Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
The transportation system of the cell. It moves materials around the cell
Flagella
whiplike tails found in one-celled organisms to aid in movement
Organelle
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
