The Organelle Odyssey

4. The "recycling centers" of the cell, breaks down waste and involved in digestion, found floating in the cytoplasm
6. "Framework" that's found throughout the cell, helps keep the cells shape and organize pats
7. Only in prokaryotic cells, where the genetic material is stored
8. "Specialized factories" in the cytoplasm of plant cells they help convert stored fats into sugars for energy
11. Tiny hairlike shapes that help with movement and sensing of a cell's environment, found on the surface of certain cells
14. Barrier around the cell that protects and supports
15. "Tiny hairs "located on the surface of bacteria, helps bacteria stick to surfaces while and also help DNA transfer in bacteria
16. The "heart" of the atom, holds protons and neutrons
17. The "powerhouse" of the cell, generates energy for the cell, found floating in the cytoplasm

1. Involved in protein synthesis and transport often called the "factory with ribosomes" inside cells, located throughout the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells
2. The "chemical processing plant" of the cell, helps synthesis lipids, detoxification, and storage located throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells
3. The "clean-up crews", breaks down fatty acids and detoxifies harmful substances, located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells
5. The "packaging center", processes and packages proteins and lipids, located near the nucleus
9. The "storage units", store various substances like starch and are also involved in processes like photosynthesis, located in the cytoplasm
10. Located in the cytoplasm of plant cells and some protist cells, these play a crucial role in maintaining structure and storing essential substances
11. Jelly like substance located in the cell, it provides support to organelles
12. Located on some cells surface looks like tiny tails, helps the cell move around
13. Found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER, translates genetic information to make proteins
