Cytoplasm
A phospholipid layer that covers a cells surface and acts as barrier between the inside of a cell and the cells enviroment.
Cell membrane

Cell wall
in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
The food particles in a cell.
Chloroplast
cell organelle that helps make and package the materials to be transported out of the cell.
Golgi complex

Endoplasmic reticulum
a cell oraganelle composed of RNA and protein
Ribosome
an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane
Lysosome
a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
Vacuole
