6Cytoplasm Material inside the cell membrane except the nucleus
Nuclear Membrane Layer of membranes that surround the nucleus
Nucleus Contains DNA and controls cells activities
Mitochondria Converts stored energy to ATP
Golgi Apparatus Modifies, sorts and stores protein from ER
Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane system which assembles lipids and modifies proteins
Ribosomes Assembles protein made of RNA and protein
7Cell wall Strong supporting layer in plants, fungus and some bacteria
Cell membrane Flexible barrier around the cell, monitors what enters and leaves the cell.
Chloroplast Captures energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy
Vacuole Stores water, salrs, protein and carbohydrates.
Lysosome Filled with enzymes used to break down material in the cell.
