CELL

• Nucleus – serves as the command center, sending directions to the cell to grow, mature, divide, or die.
• DNA - the cells hereditary material.
• The nucleus is surrounded by a membrane called the NUCLEAR ENVELOPE which protects the DNA and separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell.
• Plasma Membrane – the outer lining of the cell. It separates the cell from its environment and allows material to enter and leave the cell.
• Ribosomes – are organelles that process the cells genetic instructions to create proteins. These organelles can float freely in the cytoplasm or be connected to the endoplasmic reticulum 
• Golgi Bodies – packages molecules processed by the endoplasmic reticulum to be transported out of the cell
• Cytoskeleton – it is a network of long fibers that make up the cell’s structural framework. Has several critical functions including determining cell shape, participating in cell division and allowing cells to move. It also provides a trach line system that directs the movement of organelles and other substances within the cell
• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) – organelle helps process molecules created by the cell, it also transports these molecules to their specific destinations either inside or outside the cell
• Cytoplasm – made up of a jelly-like fluid (called the cytosol) and other structures that surround the nucleus
• Mitochondria – are complex organelles that convert energy from good into a form that the cell can use. They have their own genetic materials, separate from the DNA. In the nucleus and can make copies of themselves.
• Lysosome – organelles that are the recycling center of the cell. They digest foreign bacteria that invade the cell, rid the cell of toxic substances and recycle worn out cell components.
• Cytoplasm is made up of a jelly-like fluid (called the cytosol)
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
