4 Main Macromolecules Found in the Cell

Nucleic Acids

Chloroplasts- Captures light energy and converts it into energy usable by the cell

Nucleus- Contains most of the cells DNA

Nucleolus- Controls Nuclelus

Protein

Nucleus- Stores information to make proteins

Golgi apparatus- modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into sacs called vesicles

Endoplasmic Reticulum- Site of Protein synthesis

Ribosomes- Help manufacture proteins

Cytoskeleton- Supporting network of long thin protein fibers

Carbohydrates

Cell Wall- Supports and protects the plant cell

Mitochondria- Converts energy into ATP (usable energy)

Nucleolus- Site of ribosome production

Lipid

Endoplasmic Reticulum- Site of Lipid synthesis

Ribosomes- Digests enzymes such as Lipids

Nuclear Envelope- Surrounds Nucleus in double membrane

Plasma Membrane- Controls what enters and leaves the cell
