mitochondria
Where is cellular respiration takes place, our energy (ATP) comes from here
Powerhouse of the cell

Mitochondria
Golgi bodies
“Packages” cell material, wraps a membrane around proteins and materials made in the cell

Centrioles
(Only in animal cells) Helps the cell undergo cellular division, or mitosis

Cytoplasm
Jelly like material that fills the extra space in a cell, also where most of our chemical reactions occur

Endoplasmic reticulum or ER
Transports materials around the cell

ER
Rough ER
Proteins - has ribosomes on it
Smooth ER
Lipids
Nuclear membrane
Separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell

Nucleolus
Dense part of a nucleus, where RNA is made

Nucleus
Stores DNA, controls most cellular activities (brain of the cell)

Cell wall
Rigid structure around the outside of plant cells to give them structure and support (made of cellulose)

Chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis, make sugar molecules using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
