This organelle is found only in plant cells and it is the rigid outer layer that gives the cell shape.
Cell Wall
The organelle breaks down materials in the cell and acts as the clean up crew.
Lysosomes
This organelle is found in animal and plant cells. It is larger in plant cells and hold food, water and waste.
Vacuole
This organelle is only found in plant cells. It allows plants to capture energy from the sun to make food for the cell.
Chloroplast
This organelle receives proteins and other materials to package them and distribute them to other parts of the cell.
Golgi Body
This organelle makes proteins and is found on the rough ER.
Ribosomes
This organelle makes lipids (fats)
Smooth ER
This organelle has ribosomes on its surface and makes and processes proteins
Rough ER
The gel-like fluid that fills the cell.
Cytoplasm
The organelle that makes energy - ATP for the cell.
Mitochondria
This organelle sits inside the nucleus, and is like the "mini" nucleus.
Nucleolus
This organelle is inside the nucleus that contains the genetic material for the cell in strands
Chromatin
This surrounds the nucleus and protects it, as well as allows materials to pass in and out of the nucleus through pores.
Nuclear Envelope
This organelle is the control center of the cell.
Nucleus
This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells and allows certain materials to pass in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
