Cell Organelles Flashcards
Cell membrane
Phospholipid bilateral (double membrane) Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Cell wall
Plants only
Rigid protective wall made of polysaccharides
Provides and maintains shape
Protective barrier
Works with central vacuole to help plants stand
Cytoplasm
Cytosol: metabolism
Cytoskeleton: holds cell together.
Mitochondria
Provides energy for the cell in the form of ATP By the process of cellular reproduction
Lysosomes
Intracellular digestion
Has digestive enzymes that clean up waste
Vacuoles
Small in animals - digestion, waste, holds nutrients and water
Large in plants - nutrients, waste, provides structure with cell wall (turgor pressure)
Golgi body or Golgi apparatus
Packaging and modifying proteins
Makes lysosomes
Chloroplasts
Plants only
Photosynthesis
Creates glucose for the cell
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Hormones/secretory products production
Lipid production
Detoxifying
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Has ribosomes
Transports & folds proteins
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis (synthesis = to make!)
Nucleus
Communication
Houses DNA
Controls the cell
Nucleolus
Produces ribosomes
Chromatin
Condensed form of DNA
Vesicle
Transport around the cell
Created from membrane walls
Vesicle = vehicle
