nucleus
the control centre of the cell

cytoplasm
the substance found in living cells (outside the nucleus), where chemical reactions take place

cell membrane
a layer that holds the cytoplasm in a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell
4 of 15
mitochondria
the structures in the cytoplasm where energy is produced from chemical reactions
5 of 15
ribosomes
small structures found in the cytoplasm of living cells where protein synthesis takes place
6 of 15
cell wall
a protective layer, found outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal and bacterial cells, that helps to support the cell
