Create
"Power plant" of the cell; sites oxidative metabolism
Mitochondria
Long strand of DNA and protein that contain hereditary information
Chromosome
Outer layer of cellulose or chitin that functions as protection or support
Cell Wall
Sites of genes for rRNA synthesis; assembles ribosomes
Nucleolus
Small assemblies of protein and RNA, often bound to the ER; sites protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Sites of photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Network of internal membranes that form the compartments and vesicles; participates in protein and lipid synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Packages proteins for export from the cell; forms secretory vesicles
Golgi apparatus
Vesicles that digest worn-out organelles; play role in cell death
Lysosomes
Network of protein filaments; functions as structural support and in cell movement
Cytoskeleton
Control center; directs protein synthesis and cell reproduction
Nucleus
Lipid bilayer with proteins that regulate what passes into and out of the cell
Plasma membrane
Vesicles that isolate particular chemical activities from the rest of the cell
Microbodies or Peroxisomes
