|---|---|
 Cell wall | (Plant cells only) Holds shape of cell and provides support and protection to cell membrane |
| Chloroplast | (Plant cells only) Holds chlorophyll and photosynthesis happens here |
| Golgi | Modifies lipids and proteins to perform specific functions and transports materials out of the cell |
| Cytoplasm (Cytosol) | Gel-like liquid that fills cell and holds everything needed for the cell to perform life processes |
| ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) | Makes lipids and other things for the cell's use, the internal transportation system |
| Ribosome | Makes proteins |
| Nuclear membrane | Protects nucleus and lets certain materials pass in and out of the nucleus |
| Nucleus | Controls the entire cell, holds DNA, and is the cell's instructions on making proteins |
| Vacuole | Holds water and other materials, it is the "storage tank" |
| Mitochondria | Makes ATP (the cell's energy) |
| Cell membrane | Keeps cytoplasm inside, moves materials in and out of the cell, and interacts with outside enviornment |
| Lysosome | (Usually animal cells only) Contains special enzymes that digest food, waste, cell parts, foreign invaders, etc. |
| Nucleolus | Stores materials to make ribosomes |
