Cell membrane
|
Acts as protective barrier to uncontrolled flow of water.
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
In Eukaryotic cells. Safely stores DNA.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Creates cell's energy in both plant and animal cells

|
|
Central vacuole
|
Only in plant cells. Stores nutrients, breaks down waste, helps cell grow, provides pressure necessary for maintaining plant's shape.
|
|
|
Cytosol and cytoplasm
|
"filler" inside cell, may provide extensions for movement.

Cytoskeleton
|
Fibers extending throughout cytoplasm, provides structure and support.
|
|
|
Nucleolus
|
Synthesizes ribosomes, in center of nucleus.
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Made in nucleolus, the site of protein synthesis. Free and bound ribosomes.

Golgi apparatus
|
Modifies and sorts products from ER. Fusion of membrains possible; ER and Golgi both of the endomembrane system.
|
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Contain enzymes which digest biological molecules and recycle materials from cell.
|
|
|
Vesicles
|
membrane bound sacs, transport materials through cytoplasm
|
|
|
