  • Mitochondria- where aerobic respiration takes place and where most energy is released.
  • Ribosomes- Site of protein synthesis in the cell.
  • Chloroplast- contains chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
  • Cell wall- made of cellulose and supports the cell and provides strength.
  • vacuole- contains cell sap, helps maintain cell shape and supports cell structure.
