1. Mitochondria
The energy producing sites in the cell where respiration takes place
In plant and animal cells
Called the “powerhouse”
Color red

2. Cytoplasm The gel-like fluid inside of the cell made mostly of water
Other organelles float and move around in the cytoplasm
In plant cells
and animal cells
Leave white

3. Endoplasmic Reticulum
A series of folded membranes in which materials can be processed and moved around within the cell
Both Plant and Animal cells
Color: orange

4. Nucleus
Contains the genetic material (DNA) and is the control center of the cell
In plant and animal cells
Color purple

5. Vacuole Act as a temporary storage center
Some store water; others store waste products until they can be eliminated from the cell
In plant cells and some animal cells
Color blue

6. Ribosomes Small structures that make proteins
Both Plant and Animal cells
Color: brown

7. Golgi Bodies
Stacked, flattened membranes that sort proteins and package them into vesicles to deliver to the cell
Both Plant and Animal Cell
Color: dark green

8. Lysosomes
Organelles that contain digestive chemicals that help break down food molecules, wastes, and worn out cell parts.
In Plant and Animal Cells
Color: Pink

9. Cell Membrane The thin, flexible outer covering of a cell
that controls what enters and leaves a cell
In both plant and animal cells
Color yellow

10. Cell Wall Provides support and shape Made mostly of cellulose
Is tough and stiff
In PLANTS ONLY!
Color BLACK

11. Chloroplasts Where photosynthesis takes place,
Contains Chlorophyll (green pigment) used to make food
PLANT CELL only!
Color green
