Cilia

Short numerous structures that move fluid along cells surface.

Flagella

Ribosome

Makes proteins for the cell

Mitochondria

Generates energy needed to power a cells biochemical reaction.

Chloroplast

conducts photosynthesis in a plant

Golgi body

processes, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids

Smooth ER

network of tubes inside a cell that makes lipids. no ribosomes on surface

Rough ER

network of membranes covered in ribosomes that produce proteins

Vesicles

Small sacs the smooth and rough ER uses to transport lipids and proteins to other cells

Vacuole

Used to store food, water, and waste

Cell wall

protective outer layer

Lysosome

the cells garbage disposal

Centriole

helps cells divide
