Organelles Flashcards
Cell membrane
seperates the interior of cell from outside
Cell wall
Surrounds plasma membrane of plant cell and provide strength/protection
Nucleus
It contains the DNA which controls all cell activities
Cytoplasm
The gelatinous liquid that fills cell inside. Made of water, salts and various organic molecules
Mitochondria
Produces necessary energy for cell survival/functioning
Chloroplast
The site of photosynthesis (green)
Ribosome
cellular machinery responsible for making proteins
Vacuole
small and help sequester animal waste products. big in plant cell and help maintain water balance
Golgi Apparatus
helps process/package proteins
Vesicles
transport and store molecule within cell
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
helps create and modify proteins
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
helps create fats (lipids)) and steroids
Prokaryote
small, no nucleus, no membrane bound organelle (bacteria)
Eukaryote
big, nucleus, membrane bound organelle (other cells)
