Nucleus and nuclear membrane

membrane separates nucleus from the rest of the cell

nucleus carries genetic info

Nuclear pore

holes to allow substances in and out of the nucleus

Nucleolus

produces ribosomes

Chromatin

contains hereditary info

Cytoplasm

contains all cell contents outside nucleus, but inside cell membrane

Mitochondrion

powerhouse of the cell

Golgi complex (apparatus)

manufactures and packages molecules for export from the cell

Centriole

a cylindrical microtubules that helps in cell division

Vacuole

fluid filled sacs that contain food, waste, and other substances

Microtubules

provides structure and support to the cell

Microfilament

involved in movement and attachment to other cells

Lysosome

similar to vacuoles, but with digestive enzymes

Ribosome

manufacture proteins

Endoplasmic reticulum

membranes that extend the cytoplasm to make proteins and lipids

Chloroplast

converts light energy to chemical energy for nutrients and food

Cell wall

protective barrier that’s composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and other compounds. also gives the shape of the cell
