Chromosomes

Mitochondria
The powerhouse of the cell that produces energy.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A network of tubes that transports materials in the cell.
Rough Endo…
Has ribosomes on its surface and helps in protein production and modification.
Smooth Endo….
Does not contain ribosomes, where lipids are manufactured.
Ribosomes
Tiny structures that make proteins.
Golgi Bodies
Process and package proteins and other molecules for transport.
Vacuoles
Storage spaces in the cell for water, nutrients, and waste.
Lysosomes
Destroy unwanted material from a cell.
Plant Cell vacuoles
one large storage areas that maintain cell shape and pressure in plant cells. takes up most space
chloroplasts
Contain chlorophyll and help plants make food from sunlight (photosynthesis).
Cell Wall
A rigid outer layer in plant cells that provides structure and protection.
