Organelles Flashcards
Mitochondria
Makes energy in the form of ATP by breaking down sugars, fats, or proteins
Chloroplasts
Uses pigments to convert sunlight energy to chemical potential energy such as glucose sugar
Rough er
Makes proteins from amino acids using RNA transcripts
Smooth er
Uses enzymes to make lipids (steroids and oils) and detoxifies drugs and poison, stores calcium ( muscle cells)
Golgi apparatus
Specializes in shipping and packaging of materials destined for excretion or other parts of cell
Nucleus
Carries the instructions for cellular activities
Lysosome
Uses hydrolytic enzymes to breakdown molecules or cell parts
Cell wall
Rigid structure made of carbohydrates that protect and reduce lyses in hypotonic solutions
Cell membrane
Provides a selective barrier to molecule movement in and out of cell
