Key Macromolecules
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids
Nucleic acids
Made up of cells with the same function
Tissues
Made up of different types of tissues
Organs
Uses photosynthesis to produce ATP and sugars
Chloroplasts
Manufacture ATP
Mitochondria
Synthesizes/processes lipids in a cell
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Maintains a cell’s environment through selective permeability
Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)
Synthesizes proteins
Ribosome
Aid digestion and recycling of old cell material
Lysosome
Provides structural support and protection for cell
Cell Wall
Serves as storage for a variety of elements, e.g. water, toxins, carbohydrates
Vacuole
Processes proteins
Golgi Apparatus
Aids in the transferring of materials and movements of whole cells
Cytoskeleton
Synthesizes/processes proteins in the cell
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
