| 5444171749 | Organelle | "Small organs" of the cell that carry out specific functions |  | 0 |
| 5444171750 | Nucleus | "Brain" of the cell, control center; Contains DNA (genetic material) |  | 1 |
| 5444171751 | Mitochondria | "Powerhouse" or "Energy producer"; makes ATP through cell respiration |  | 2 |
| 5444171752 | Vesicles | "Mail men," small membrane bound sacs that transport materials around cell and to cell membrane |  | 3 |
| 5444171753 | Vacuole | "warehouse," stores food, water, waste; larger in plant cells |  | 4 |
| 5444171754 | Lysosome | Enzyme vesicle.Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules; digests old cell parts |  | 5 |
| 5444171755 | Ribosome | Assembles amino acids into proteins. |  | 6 |
| 5444171756 | Endoplasmic reticulum | "Cell highway", transports goods and materials throughout the cell, 2 types |  | 7 |
| 5444171757 | Golgi body | "Quality control", Modifies and Processes proteins made by the cell. |  | 8 |
| 5444171758 | Cytoskeleton | Made of protein microtubules and microfilaments. |  | 9 |
| 5444171759 | Cell Wall | Gives support and protection to cell; made of cellulose in plants. |  | 10 |
| 5444171760 | Cell Membrane | "Border control", controls what comes in and out of the cell; maintains homeostasis |  | 11 |
| 5444171765 | Chloroplasts | Where photosynthesis occurs; in plant cells only |  | 12 |
| 5444171766 | Mitochondria | In both plant and animal cells; takes sugar and turns it into energy (ATP) |  | 13 |
| 5444171767 | Nucleus | In both plant and animal cells; controls cellular functions: |  | 14 |
| 5444171768 | Central vacuole | Plant cells have large one to store water. |  | 15 |
