RNA and protein found throughout the cell; site of protein synthesis

Contains almost all the cell’s DNA and coded instructions for making proteins and molecules

Converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds the cell can use; powerhouse of the cell

Small region in the nucleus where assembly of ribosomes begins

Support layer around the membrane that protects the cell

Synthesizes membrane lipids and detoxifies drugs; does not have ribosomes

Synthesizes proteins; has ribosomes

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for storage or release from the cell

Breakdown lipids, carbs, and proteins; removes junk

Stores and moves materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface.

Stores materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
