| Cell | – the basic unit of life |
| Cell Membrane | a boundary between the cell and the environment outside. Food can enter to manufacture energy. Oxygen can enter to burn fuel. Carbon dioxide exits as waste. |
| Nucleus | Control center of the cell |
| Chromosomes | the cells genetic information. It tells what each person will be like. |
| Cytoplasm | Everything else in the cell. It receives its messages from the nucleus. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | The cells assembly line. It is where proteins are put together. They connect different organelles in the cell like a highway. |
| Mitochondrion | Here chemical reactions take place that burn particles of food for energy. (The Powerhouse Of The Cell). They provide the cells energy needs. The more active the cell, the more mitochondrion in it. Example, - Muscles move a lot, so they need and have more mitochondrion. |
| Lysosome | The place where food is processed. Enzymes are inside of it. They digest small food particles. They are the garbage disposal part of the cell. They break down worn out cell parts and gather waste products from the cytoplasm. |
| Golgi Body | “Packaging Centers” Proteins are mixed with other chemicals and are put into bubble-like containers that are then released to the cell membrane. |
| Vesicle | A small sac or cyst that stores food, water, or waste. |
