Function of organelles Flashcards
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
transports proteins
mitochondria
brings chemical energy to the cell by breaking down Sugar
cell wall
Gives the cell its shape and protects it from water pressure
cell membrane
cells filter that regulates cell growth
cytoskeleton
organized the cell and gives it shape
peroxisomes
decomposes hydrogen peroxide and germinates seeds
vacuole
holds food(water) and gets rid of waste
chloroplast
site for photosynthesis(makes food and energy)
ribosomes
makes the cells proteins
rough endoplasmic reticulum
synthesizes proteins (gives proteins their final shape)
Golgi apparatus
stores and packages proteins(mail man)
vesicles
transports materials through the cell
nucleolus
produces and assembles ribosomes
Nucleus
Hold genetic information and sends out controls z
centrioles
separates chromosomes and helped the cell divide
