cytoplasm

the substance that all organelles are suspended in

cell wall

maintains and protects the cells shape

Mitochondria

energy center of the cell. turns nutrients to ATP

Vacuoles

intracellular digestion and releasing waste

Cytoskeleton

internal movement and structure of organelles

Genetic Material

DNA or RNA, carries all the knowledge that makes the cell unique

Cilia/Flagella

hair-like structure that is adapted to move cells through their environment

Ribosomes

site of protein synthesis

Nucleus

communicates with the whole cell

Nucleolus

produces ribosomes

Golgi body

packages macromolecules for transport
