Cell membrane - A semi-permeable barrier around cells. Made up of phospholipids and protein channels, Cytoplasm - A fluid found in all cells. Contains chemical reactants and enzymes for metabolic reactions, Nucleolus - An area inside the nucleus that makes ribosomes and RNA, Rough endoplasmic reticulum - Tubes made of membranes and covered in ribosomes. Folds and processes proteins, Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - Tubes made of membranes. Synthesise and package lipids, Golgi apparatus - Processes and packages new lipids and proteins. It also makes vesicles, including lysosomes., Vesicles - Membrane bound spheres that transport substances in and out of the cell, Centriole - Involved with the separation of chromosomes during cell division., Cytoskeleton - A network of protein threads that support organelles in the cell. Also strengthens the cell, Mitochondria - Site of aerobic respiration. Releases energy in the form of ATP, Nucleus - Stores DNA and controls cell activities. Surrounded by a nuclear membrane with pores in it, Ribosome - Site of protein synthesis. In eukaryotes they are the larger 80S version, Cell wall - A rigid structure made of cellulose that strengthens the cell, Chloroplasts - Contain chlorophyll to absorb light energy. Site of photosynthesis, Vacuole - A storage space that contains cell sap (water and dissolved minerals),
