• Nucleus Store DNA and coordinate cell activity

• Chloroplast Convert light energy of the sun into sugars that can be used by the cell ; photosynthesis

• Cell Wall Provides protection, structure, and support to cell

• Vacuole Hold organic and inorganic molecules as well as water for cell

• Ribosomes Create proteins for cell

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Involved in some protein production with ribosomes

• Smooth Endoplasmic Recticulum Involved in production and trasportation of cellular products such as hormones and lipids

• Mitochondria Takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell

• Cell Membrane Controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles

• Golgi Body Sorting and processing proteins

The nucleus is like a coach because it directs the activities of a cell like a coach directs the activities of his players

The chloroplast is like a solar panel because they both take light energy from the sun and convert it to useful energy



The Cell Wall is like a fence surrounding a house because the cell wall protects the cell from outside dangers like a fence surrounds a house and protects it from certain animals or intruders

The Vacuole is like a water tower because the vacuole holds water for the cell, while the water tower holds water for the city
