Organelles Flashcards
Cell membrane
Plant/animal
Allows communication between nearby cells and reproduction
Cytoplasm
Removal of waste products
Allows outward pressure
Nucleus
Control expression on genes
Mitochondria
Site of cellular respiration
Endoplasmic recticulum
Allows substances to be transported easily
Ribosomes
Creates protein synthesis
Golgi apparatus
Modification, packaging and transport of molecules in the body
Vacuoles
The storage of water and minerals
Lysosomes
Absorbs any protein particles and breaks them down using powerful enzymes

Cell wall
Provides protection and support required by plants
Central vacuole
Tugour pressure
Storage of water in the form of sap
Chloroplasts
The site of photo synthesis
Proteins
Enzymes are proteins
Hormones are proteins
Carbohydrates
Natural sugars and starch
Important source of energy
Lipids (fats)
Stored as reserve energy
Structural components of cell membrane
Nuclei acids
DNA and RNA
True solution
Cannot be seen
Sugar salt and gasses dissolved in water
Suspension
Can be seen by the naked eye
Cell organelles floating in the ground plasm
Emulsion
Oil droplets in water
Colloidal solutions
Too heavy to sink too light to float
Inorganic compounds
No living orgin
No carbon elements and simple molecules
Leucoplasts
Colourless plastids responsible for storing food in plant cells
>starch
