What does the cell wall do?
Gives the cell support and is made of celluose
Chloroplast
where photosynthesis happens. Is a membrane bound organelle that has chlorophyll
Vacuole
stores water, nutrients, or waste and is a small membrane bound oganelle
Lysosomes
Are enzymes that break down materials in a cell and is a small membrane bound organelle.
Cell membrane
Controls what goes in and out of the cell. It is 2 layers of proteins and phospholipids
chromatin
info on how to make make proteins. its in the normal state which is unorganized DNA and is made up of nucleotide locked in the nucleus
cytoplasm
all the cells content that is in between the cell membrane and the nucleus. it is made up of fluid and organelles except for the nucleus
cytoskeleten
gives support and structure for the cell. made up of tubules
Endoplasmic reticulum
route that transports proteins and is made up of tubes and channels
golgi bodies
packages, labels, and ships proteins out of cells. pancake shaped layered organelle
Mitochondria
produces energy for the cell and is the site of cellular respiration. it is a double membrane bound organelle
nuclear envelope
controls what goes in and out of the nucleus. its a double layer of lipids.
nucleolus
makes RNA which is used to make all proteins. separate from DNA and is found inside the nucleus
nucleus
regulates DNA and RNA actions and is a membrane bound organelle that contains DNA
ribosomes
make proteins and are small circular shaped organelles.
