Holds everything in place in the cell, give a liquid solution for chemical reactions to happen in the cell

Protects the DNA that controls the activities of the cell

Inside of the nucleus, makes rRNA which make up ribosomes

Located on rough ER and floating in cytoplasm, make proteins!

Gets vesicles of protein from the ER; Processes, sorts, and ships proteins where needed

Helps make proteins because of the ribosomes on it; packages them for secretion, send in vesicles to Golgi

Makes lipids (for the cell membrane)

Break down dead stuff (food, bacteria, old parts of cell, etc.; can do programmed cell death (apoptosis)

Small and numerous in animal cells and 1 large central one in plant cells; used for storage (like water, nutrients, waste, etc.)

Only appear during cell division; help cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart

move fluid across cell’s surface; short tiny hairs like boat oars

move entire cell through extracellular fluid; 1-3 long "tails"

Breaks down chemical energy in food to release usable energy in the form of ATP

Converts light energy from sun into chemical energy in sugar

In plant cells only, protect and maintain shape

Give the cell shape, helps move organelles around, and gives structural support in animal cells
