controls movement of substances in and out of cells, separates inside of cell from outside environment

Nuclear membrane

Controls what goes in and out of the nucleus.

Lysosome

Breaks down and digests excess organelles, waste products and materials (more found in animal cells).

Ribosomes

makes proteins

Cytoplasm

Mitochondria

releases energy, powerhouse of the cell

Nucleolus

Within the nucleus and makes ribosomes.

Chloroplasts
