cell organelles Flashcards
function of Golgi apparatus
processes and packages lipids and proteins
function of mitochondria
site of aerobic respiration, and provides energy in the form of ATP
function of rough endoplasmic reticulum
folds and processes proteins that have been made on the ribosomes
function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
makes and processes lipids
function of cell surface membrane
regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, Contains receptors which can respond to chemicals like hormones.

Contains chromosomes – instructions to make proteins. Pores allow substances to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, Nucleolus makes ribosomes.
function of chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis
function of lysosome
Produces Lysozymes, digests invading cells or worn out organelles.
function of cell wall
Supports cells and prevents them from changing shape.
function of vacuole
Keeps the cell turgid. Maintains pressure inside the cell.
