ribosome
protein synthesis
smooth E.R.

vacuole
sack-like structures that store different materials
lysosome
take in damaged/worn out cells and break them down
chloroplast
where photosynthesis happens, is green because of chlorophyll
mitochondria
energy production via cellular respiration
microtubules
