Cellular Organelles

Organelle that links puts acids together to build proteins. 

• ribosome
• endoplasmic reticulum 
• vacuole 
• nucleus 

Bean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has its own ribosomes and DNA. 

• mitochondria
• nucleus
• cell wall 
• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• vesicle 

A rigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to plants, algae, fungi and some bacteria. 

• cell wall
• cell membrane 
• cytoskeleton 
• cytoplasm
