Cell Membrane
Encloses the cell
Keeps out harmful materials
Lets in materials the cell needs (water, nutrients, oxygen)
The lining around the cell
Nucleus
Directs the actions of the cell
The dark dots inside the cell
Mitochondria
takes in nutrients and uses them to produce energy for the cell to use to do things
There are often many mitochondria in a cell
Many mitochondria
Plant

Cell Wall
Provides structure and protection for plant cells. Surrounds the plant cell membrane
Chloroplast
Creates food for the plant (sugar) using energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide
