organelles Flashcards
vacuole
stores material within the cell; regular is animals only: central is plants only
ribosomes
the sites of protein synthesis; both
nucleus
organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaroyotic cell; both
chloroplasts
contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color; plants only
lysosomes
digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles, and invading viruses or bacteria; both
nucleur membrane
surrounds the nucleus and controls what enters and exits the nucleus; both
cell wall
firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria, and some protests; plants only
mitochondria
produces a usable form of energy for the cell; both
golgi body
packages proteins for transport out of the cell; both
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
assembles some components of the cell membrane; synthesizes lipids; both
nucleolus
site where ribosomes are made; both
cell membrane
provides support for the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell; both
cytoplasm
jelly-like fluid inside the cell membrane; both
rough endoplasmic reticulum
assembles some components of the cell membrane; modifies proteins; has ribosomes attached to it; both
