Cell City- Organelles

City Limits: Controls what goes in and out of the city

• Golgi complex

• cell membrane

• vesicle

• vacuole

• nucleolus

Conveyor belt that some factories are attached to: Allows for movement of proteins throughout the city

• lysosomes

• mitochondria

• rough endoplasmic reticulum

• RNA

• ribosomes

The fatty conveyor belt: Allows for the production of fats and oils and breaks down toxic materials

• cytoplasm

• chloroplast

• centrioles

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
