Organelles
These are small grain-shaped organelles that produce proteins
Ribosomes
This fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus

This converts energy stored in food to energy the cell can use to live and function
Mitochondria
This is an organelle with a network of membranes that produces many substances
