Cell Organelles Flashcards
What stores material within the cell?
vacuole
What cell function is closely stacked, flattened sacs (plants only)?
chloroplasts
What cell function is the sites of protein synthesis?
ribosomes
What cell function transports materials within the cell?
vesicles
The region inside the cell except for the nucleus.
cytoplasm
Organelle that manages or controls all of the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell.
nucleus
Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color.
chloroplasts
Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria
lysosomes
small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum
ribosomes
Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products
vacuole
Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protests (plants only)
cell wall
Produces a usable form of energy for the cell
mitochondria
Packages proteins for transport out of the cell
golgi apparatus
everything inside the cell including the nucleus
cell structure
Site where ribosomes are made
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
