Organelle functions Flashcards
Cell Membrane
Found in:All types of cells(PR(prokaryote) and E(Eukaryote))(Animal cells(A) and Plant cells(P))
Function: Maintains homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell
Cytoplasm
Found in: All cells(P and E)(A and P)
Function: It suspends the organelles and provides an environment for chemical reactions. The Jelly fluid that fills the cell.
Ribosome
Found in; All types of cells(P and E)( A and P)
Function: Makes proteins
Cytoskeleton
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A and P)
Function: Transport organelles and give shape and support
Nucleus
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A and P)
Function: Stores DNA and controls cell activity
Rough ER
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A and P)
Function: Transfer materials through cells, make lipids and break down toxic materials that could damage the cell.
Smooth ER
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A and P)
Function: Production center for lipids and membranes
Golgi Bodies
Found in: Only Eukaryotic(A and P)
Function: Modies, sort, and ship proteins
Mitochondria
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A and P)
Function: Release fuel for cells to function, store energy (ATP)
Vesicle
Found in:Only Eukaryote(A and P)
Function: Stores food, water or wastes
Lysosome
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A)
Function: Digestive enzymes, digest food particles, and wastes
Centrosome
Found in: Only Eukaryote(A)
Function: Create special structures called spindle fibers that help cells divide
Cell Wall
Found in: Only Eukaryote(P)
Function: Provides shape,structure, and protection
Chloroplast
Found in: Only Eukaryote(P)
Function: Membrane-bound organelle, use light energy to make sugar glucose, photosynthesis.
Central Vacuole
Found in: Only Eukaryote(P)
Function: Store water in order to maintain plant shape
