Cell membrane
Boundary, controls what goes in/out
Ribosome
Synthesizes protein
Growing chain of amino acids
Nucleus
Contains genetic material, control center
Cytoskeleton
Provides shape and structure
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Assists in lipid production
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Studded with ribosomes. Assists in protein production
Golgi Apparatus
Stores, modifies, packages proteins
Vesicle
Transport material throughout/in/out
Lysosome
Breaks down waste
Mitochondria
Site of cellular respiration
Chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis
Centriole
Aids in cell division
Vacuole
Storage for water, food, enzymes (large central in plants only)
Cell Wall
Rigid outer barrier
