Nucleolus - where
ribosomes
are made
The
nucleus
is the
control
centre of the cell.
Ribosome
- site of
protein synthesis
Mitochondria
- powerhouse of the cell, produces
ATP
through aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
- powerhouse of the cell, produces ATP through
respiration
Vacuole - stores
water
and
waste
products
Chloroplast - found only in plant cells, contains chlorophyll which is used to make
glucose
from carbon dioxide and water during
photosynthesis
Vacuole - stores water, waste products,
pigments
,
enzymes
Chloroplast - site of
photosynthesis
(plants only)
Cell membrane
- controls what enters/exits the cell
Chloroplast - site of
photosynthesis
(in plant cells)
Chloroplast - site of
photosynthesis

Cell wall
- made up of
cellulose
, provides support and protection
Cell wall
- provides support to
plant
cells
Plasma membrane
- controls what enters/exits the cell
Plasma membrane
- controls what enters or leaves the cell
Cell wall - made up of
cellulose
fibres, provides support and protection, prevents
bursting
when turgid
Cytoskeleton
- gives shape to the cell and helps it
move
around
Ribosomes
- sites of
protein synthesis
Plasma membrane
- controls what enters/leaves the cell
Vacuole - stores
water
(turgor pressure) and
waste
products
