organelles Flashcards
the cytoplasm
provides space for organelles to work within
the nucleus
regulates cell activities and contains most of cells genetic material
nucleolus
makes Ribosomal RNA. assembles ribosomal subunits
ribosomes
synthesis of proteins (makes them)
rough ER
modification and transporting of proteins
Smooth ER
Modifies and transports lipids.
golgi body
packaging of proteins and lipids through the cell in vesicles
lysosomes
stomach. intracellular digestion of macromolecules. breakdown of old cells and cell debris
vacuole
Stores water and food
vesicles
transport materials through cells
mitochondria
site of cellular respiration, makes energy
chloroplast
site of photosynthesis, chlorophyll inside. only in plant cells
centrioles
organize microtubules, determine location of other organelles. splits cell DNA during cell division
cytoskeleton
maintains cell shape and organizes cells internal
cell membrane
controls what goes in and out of the cell. “barrier”
