cell organells Flashcards
ribosomes
were proteins are produced
endoplasmic reticulum
network of small tubes, pathways so that chemicals can be transported through the cell
Golgi bodies
packs proteins and other cells in the membrane and stores them until needed
lysosomes
break down food materials by digestive chemicals and recovers worn down particles
mitochondria
create energy using oxygen. Burn fuel from the food we eat, and conducts cellular respiration.
nucleus
Director of all of the cells activities, contains genetic material( DNA)
cell wall
provides most of the fiber in our diets
cytoplasm
site of many important chemical reactions including proteins synthesis
endoplasmic reticulum
transports materials through the cells.
Smooth ER is involved in protein synthesis.
Rough ER makes more membrane for itself and produces proteins that are secreted by the cell
vacuoles
often store food enzymes other materials needed by the cell, Waste, or May served as a pump to remove excess water
chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll use for photosynthesis
cytoskeleton
provides support for organelles and acts as tracks on which organelles move from place to place
centrioles
cell reproduction
