1Nucleus
Contains the genetic information of the cell ,in the form of chromosomes which are made of DNA, controls the activities of the cell
2Cytoplasm
Contains all of the organelles and enzymes
Many chemical reactions are here
3Mitochondria
Carry out the reactions of aerobic respiration
Release energy for the cell
Cells with high demand for energy have many mitochondria, e.g. muscle
cells
4Ribosomes
Very small and make protein (protein synthesis)
5Cell membrane
Forms a boundary between the cytoplasm and the outside of the cell
The cell can control what comes in and out
Partially permeable
6Cell wall
Made of cellulose (non-living material)
Help protects the cell and keeps its shape
Freely permeable
7Chloroplasts
Contains chlorophyll (green pigment) which absorbs light energy to make food by photosynthesis
8Vacuole
Filled with cell sap (a store of dissolved sugars, mineral ions, and water)
Helps keep cells shape
