Organelles

cell membrane: controls what goes in and out of the cell, maintains a stable internal environment
cytoskeleton: gives cell shape, structural support for animals cells (bc they don't have a cell wall), can move organelles around
cytoplasm: holds everything in place, solution for chemical reactions to take place in
nucleus: protects the DNA that controls the activities of the cell
ribosomes: make proteins in a process called translation
Golgi apparatus: gets vesicles of protein from the ER, processes, sorts, and ships proteins where needed
vacuole: storage
mitochondria: where cellular respiration happens, breaks down chemical energy in food to release usable energy in the form of ATP
chloroplast: [Plant cells only] where photosynthesis happens, converts light energy from sun into chemical energy in sugar
cell wall: [Plant cells only] protect and maintain shape
