Cell membrane
The outer layer which controls what goes in or out.
Cytoplasm
Seprates the organelles and helps the cell membrane keep its shape.
Lysosomes
Breaks down unecessary stuff.
Ribosomes
These organelle are generated in the nucleus and generate proteins.
Mitochondria
Creates energy using fats and sugars and combining them with oxygen. AKA the powerhouse.
Chloroplasts
This is found only in plant cells and uses photosythesis to produce energy. It contains chlorophyll.
Golgi bodies
Assists the ribosomes with producing specific proteins.
Nucleus
It controls the cell and has a nuclear membrane full of pores.
Nucleolus
Stays inside the nucleus and contains chromatin, a spread out version of DNA. Also produces ribosomes from proteins.
Vacuole
This is often larger in plant cells and stores food, water, and waste.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Used to hold substances in the cell.
Organelle
