vacuole
Functions of Nucleus
Controls the activity of the cell
Function of cell membrane
controls entry and exit of substances into the cell
Function of cytoplasm
Where chemical reactions take place
Function of mitochondria
POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
Where aerobic respiration happens
Ribosomes
Made of RNA and protein
Site of protein synthesis
Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Cell wall
In plants only
Made out of cellulose
Protects and supports the cell
Chloroplasts
Contains green pigment - Chlorophyll
Carries out photosynthesis
Vacuole
Cell sap containing dissolved sugar and mineral ions
