NucleusThe control center which contains chromosomes and DNA that is genetic materialAlso has a side job of controlling protein production

Cell or Plasma MembraneSurrounds and protects the cell while regulating passageContains special receptors that receive messages to let certain things in which are shape specific

CytoplasmJelly like material inside of the cell and all of the organelles are in it

VacuolesThe storage sitesThe contractual vacuole stores water

Endoplasmic ReticulumThe channels for transportation and storageThe ribosomes are on the this

Ribosomes Tiny dots on the Endoplasmic ReticulumSites of protein synthesis

LysosomesSites of cellular digestion

Cell WallExtra layer that provides a rigid structure Outside the Cell Membrane

ChloroplastCauses plants to appear greenContains chlorophyll for photosynthesis
