Lysosomes

Found mainly in animal cells; break down waste and recycle materials.

Golgi Apparatus

Packages and distributes proteins and other materials into vesicles.It is an organelle located in the cytoplasm and plays a crucial role in modifying, sorting, and shipping proteins.

Cell Membrane

Controls what enters and leaves the cell; acts as a protective barrier.It is a lipid bilayer that maintains homeostasis and provides structure to the cell.

Cell Wall

Found only in plant cells; provides structure, support, and protection outside the cell membrane. It is composed mainly of cellulose and helps maintain cell shape.

Nucleus

The “control center” of the cell; stores DNA and directs cell activities.

Cytoplasm

Jelly-like fluid that fills the cell and holds organelles in place.

Mitochondria

The Mitochondria is the power house of the cell :]

Vacuole

Stores water, nutrients, and waste; large in plant cells, smaller in animal cells.

Ribosomes

Build proteins by following instructions from the nucleus.
