Animal Cell Organelles
Endoplasmic Reticulum Mitochondria Nucleus Ribosome Vacuole Cell Membrane Golgi Body Cytoplasm
Organelle Function Nucleus Contains instruction for everything the cell does; DNA Vacuole Temporary storage space Mitochondria Releases energy from food Cell Membrane Protective layer around the cell that allows food, water and oxygen in and waste out.
Golgi Body Protein packaging plant; moves materials around the cell; moves materials out of the cell Cytoplasm Gel like material that holds the cell together Ribosomes Makes protein Endoplasmic Reticulum Moves materials around in the cell; like a highway
