Organelle Functions Flashcards
Provides protection to the cell. Found around the cell membrane in bacteria ,plant , fungal, and som protist cell ( cellulose )
Only found in plants
Cell wall
Controls what enters and leaves the cell . Made up of a phospholipid bilayer and imbedded proteins .
Found in both plants and animals cells
Plasma ( Cell) Membrane
Fluid that supports and holds organelles in place
Found in both plants and animal cells
Cytoplasm
Controls center of cell
Found in both plant and animal cells
Nucleus
Like cell membrane. It controls what goes in and out of the nucleus
Found in both plant and animal cells
Nuclear membrane
Right in the center of the nucleus . Produces ribosomes
Found in both plant and animal cells
Nucleolus
Site of protein synthesis
Found in both plant and animal cells
Ribosome
Green organelle found in plants and some protists . Photosynthesis occurs here
Found in only plant cells
Chloroplasts
found near the nucleus and has 2 kinds of organelles
Found in both plant and animal cells
Endoplasmic reticulum
Transports proteins and has ribosomes
Found in both plant and animal cells
Rough ER
Produce and transports lipids and does not have ribosomes
Found in both plant and animal cells
Smooth ER
( complex or bodies ) modifies,packages, and ships molecules in and out of the cell,uses vesicles
Found in both plant and animal cells
Golgi apparatus
Break down waste and foreign invaders ( uses enzyme )
Found in both plant and animal cells
Lysosome
Stores food,water, and waste products . Large and central in plant cells, small and numerous in animal cells
Found in both plant and animal cells
Vacuole
Converts sugar into usable energy for the cell ( ATP)
Found in both plant and animal cells
Mitochondria
