name jhyl gonzalez
directions: match the function cards and memory items by gluing them into the correct locations in the chart below.

organelle	function/description	how can i remember it?
cell wall
cytoplasm
mitochondria
lysosomes
vacuoles
golgi bodies
chloroplasts
endoplasmic reticulum
ribosomes
nucleus
nucleolus
chromatin

Explanation:

Cell membrane: Controls what enters and leaves cell. Remember as cell's gate - keeper.
Cell wall: Provides support and protection in plant cells. Think of it as a plant cell's armor.
Cytoplasm: Holds organelles and is site of many reactions. Like a cellular jelly - like space.
Mitochondria: Powerhouse of the cell, makes energy (ATP). Imagine it as the cell's power plant.
Lysosomes: Digest waste materials. Consider them as the cell's garbage - disposals.
Vacuoles: Store materials like water, nutrients. Think of them as cellular storage tanks.
Golgi Bodies: Modify, sort, and package proteins. Picture them as the cell's post - office.
Chloroplasts: Site of photosynthesis in plant cells. Like solar panels for plants.
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Transports materials within cell. Think of it as a cellular highway.
Ribosomes: Make proteins. Consider them as protein factories.
Nucleus: Controls cell activities, contains DNA. Like the cell's control center.
Nucleolus: Makes ribosome parts. Think of it as a ribosome - making factory within the nucleus.
Chromatin: DNA and proteins, contains genetic info. Like the cell's genetic library.
