Cell Organelles And Their Functions Flashcards
- Cell organelles and their functions:
Cell walls
. Found in:
plants, prokaryotes
Maintains the shape of the cell and is a protective barrier
44.
Chloroplasts:
Plants, some Protists
Uses the energy from sunlight to form glucose. Photosynthesis
45.
Vacuole
All Eukaryotes
Membrane bound sac filled with food, water, etc
45.
Large central vacuole
Plants
Membrane bound sac helps maintain rigidity of the cell
Nucleus
All Eukaryotes
Contains DNA
Ribosomes
All cells
Builds proteins through translation
Mitochondria
All Eukaryotes
Coverts glucose into energy (ATP)
Cellular respiration
Cell membrane
All cells
Controls what moves in and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
All cells
Fluid in the cell
Golgi body
All Eukaryotes
Receives products from ER and sort and sends the products out
Lysosomes
All Eukaryotes
Membrane bound sac containing enzymes so large molecules can be broken down to be used
Rough endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
All Eukaryotes
Large folded membrane system covered in ribosomes. Helps to fold proteins
Smooth ER
All Eukaryotes
Large folded membrane system that puts lipids together
Microtubules and microfilaments
Long tubes that provide internal structure and allow for movement of the cell. An anchoring place for other organelles. Also important in cell division
