makes proteins
provides structure for plant cells
Cytoplasm
controls what enters and leaves the cell
liquid inside of the cell

provides structure for plant cells
Ribosome
controls what enters and leaves the cell
liquid inside the cell

Nucleus
Controls the cell and stores DNA
makes and transports proteins
makes lipids and membranes (also detoxifies and stores calcium)
modifies, sorts, and ships proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum (rER)
stores genetic information (DNA)
makes and transports proteins
makes lipids and membranes (also detoxifies and stores calcium)
modifies, sorts, and ships proteins
Golgi Apparatus
stores genetic information (DNA)
makes and transports proteins
makes lipids and membranes
modifies, sorts, and ships proteins
Mitochondria
creates energy (ATP) from food; site of cellular respiration
stores food, water, or wastes with the cell; plant cells have a special vacuole
uses enzymes to digest bacteria, viruses, and old organelles (old cell parts are recycled)
create special structures called spindle fibers that are used in cell division
Vacuole
creates energy (ATP) from food; site of cellular respiration
stores food, water, or wastes with the cell; plant cells have a special vacuole
uses enzymes to digest bacteria, viruses, and old organelles
create special structures called spindle fibers that are used in cell division
Lysosome
creates energy (ATP) from food; site of cellular respiration
stores food, water, or wastes with the cell; plant cells have a special vacuole
uses enzymes to clean the cell of old or damaged parts
create special structures called spindle fibers that are used in cell division
Cell Wall
provides structure for plant cells
site of photosynthesis; uses the sun's energy to produce food
stores water in order to maintain plant shape
site of cellular respiration
Chloroplast
provides structure for plant cells
site of photosynthesis; makes food for plants
stores water in order to maintain plant shape
site of cellular respiration
