Nucleus

• Keeps the cell separate from other plant and animal cells.

• Controls all of the cell's activities. Known as the boss or brain of the cell; is a circular shape that holds the DNA.

• Is the powerhouse of the cell.

Cytoplasm

• cleans waste out of the cell

• Looks like macaroni noodles and transports materials through the cell. There are two types; smooth and rough.

• Is a gell-like substance that lets materials move throughout the cell.

Mitocondria

• Is known as the powerhouse of the cell or power outlet. This is where all the energy is created.

• Shaped like small spheres. Make protein. Can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to rough E.R. look like small polka dots.

• Storage containers that hold water, chemicals, or food for the cell. They are larger in plant cells and smaller in animal cells.

Lysosome

• Cleans waste out of the cell

• Storage containers that hold water, chemicals, or food for the cell. They are larger in plant cells and smaller in animal cells.

• Keeps the cell separate from other cells and allows molecules to pass through; located on the outside of the animal and plant cell.
