nucleus
controls all the cell’s activities and contains DNA
cytoplasm
where chemical reactions take place +
where the organelles are suspended
cell membrane
controls what goes in and out of the cell
mitochondria
where aerobic respiration takes place
ribosomes
where protein synthesis takes place
(proteins are made)
chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll to absorb light for photosynthesis
permanent vacuole
filled with cell sap
supports the plant and keeps it rigid
flagella
a long strand of protein on bacteria that lashes out
some bacteria use them to move around
plasmids
small extra rings of DNA on bacteria
