Stores, modifies and packages proteins; gets proteins ready for specific functions and prepares them for transport.
Nucleus
Contains genetic material; considered the control center of the
cell.
Vacuole
Organelle involved in storage of nutrients, water, and cellular waste.
Ribosomes
An organelle that is the site where protein is built in the cell. DNA, genetic code, is used to build proteins at this organelle.
Mitochondria
Converts chemical energy into energy that is useable
by the cell.
Cell Membrane
Contains the organelles and cytoplasm of a cell; cell part is that it is not solid so it permits nutrients and water to pass into and waste to pass out of the cell.
Cytoplasm
Contains the organelles, organelles are suspended in this cell part. Allows transportation in the cell.
Lysosome
Involved in cleanup in the cell; digests and recycles materials in the cell. It is also involved in waste removal.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Makes and transports lipids and proteins, removes toxins, and is a roadway for transportation in the cell. Ribosomes are found on some of this organelle.
Cell Wall
Rigid outermost cell layer found in plants and certain algae, bacteria, and fungi. This cell part is not found in animal cells. It is involved in support and protection of the cell.
