lysosome

little sac

vesicle

little sac

cytoskeleton

tiny rods and filaments

centriole

protein tubes

cilia

tiny protein hairs

flagella

long protein

plasma membrane

controls what comes in and out of the cell

cell wall

protects and supports cell

mitochondria

transform energy for the cell. burn sugar in the respiration. creates atp

chloroplast

traps energy from sunlight during photosynthesis to make sugar

nucleus

controls cell function because it contains dna

nucleolus

makes ribosomes which makes proteins

chromosomes/ chromatin

organizes genetic material

dna

holds genetic information for the cell

ribosome

makes protein

endoplasmic reticulum

site of chemical reactions; holds ribosomes

golgi apparatus

modifies, packages proteins

vacuole

storage of water, sugar for the cell

lysosome

contain digestive enzymes, digest worn out cell parts, food, and engulfed virus and bacteria

vesicle

carries stuff throughout cells

cytoskeleton

provides a framework for the cell

centriole

play a role in cell division

cilia

cell movement

flagella

cell movement

plasma membrane

border customs at the airport

cell wall

armor

mitochondria

powerhouse of the cell

chloroplasts

the lid of a container

nucleus

a control panel

nucleolus

factory

chromosomes / chromatin

filing cabinet

dna

brain

ribosome

oven

endoplasmic reticulum

warehouse factory

golgi apparatus

boxing packages

vacuole

water bottle

lysosome

recycling

vesicle

transporting stuff in a car

cytoskeleton

those wooden frames when building a house

centriole

assistant

cilia

hair

flagella
