nuclear membrane allows certain substances to pass between the nucleus and the rest of the cell
nucleus the control center of the cell
chromosomes contains the code that controls the cell - transmits hereditary characteristics
nucleolus the area of the nucleus where ribosomes are made
mitochondria releases energy from digested foods
chloroplasts manufactures food in the plant cell through photosynthesis
Golgi bodies packages and transmits cellular material throughout the cell
vacuole storage space for water, wastes, & other cellular material
endoplasmic reticulum place where materials are processed and moved around inside the cell
ribosomes produces proteins within the cell
lysosomes contains digestive chemicals that help break down food molecules
cytoskeleton helps the animal cell maintain its shape and move
