Organelles

Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Tiny strands inside the nucleus that contains the instructions for directing the cells's function

• Control center of the cell; contains DNA

• Ridged outer layer of a plant cell

• Has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
