cell wall
Outer layer of the cell that protects it
Nucleus
The brain of the cell; contains DNA
Cytoplasm
A jellylike material that supports and protects cell organelles
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesizes lipids and has no ribosomes on its surface
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesizes and transports proteins and ribosomes are found on its surface
Ribosome
Synthesizes proteins and attaches to the ER
Mitochondria
Breaks down sugar molecules to release energy side of aerobic cellular respiration ATP
Vacuole
Stores foods waters metabolic and toxic waste
Lysosome
Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules and digest old cell parts
chloroplast
Organelle know where photosynthesis takes place and contains a green pigment called chlorophyll
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
Golgi apparatus
The cells post office and it contains and exports and modifies proteins
What is the photosynthesis equation
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
