7. Nucleus Mr. Gould The nucleus of a cell contains all the DNA in a cell and controls a cell like a principle controls a school.

8. Nucleolus The Nucleolus creates ribosomes for a cell like a kitchen makes food for us.

9. Ribosome Ribosomes produce protein for a cell like food gives us protein.

10. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum transports protein throughout a cell like a hallway.

11. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum does a different job depending on the cell, like a teacher does different jobs depending on the subject.

12. Vacuole A Vacuole in a cell stores nutrients and gets rid of waste materials and helps a cell grow like the office of a school helps it grow.
