Organelles Flashcards
The function of the cell membrane is..?
regulate what enter and leaves the cell - in plants/ animal cells
The function of the cell wall is..?
Protect, support, and shapes the cell - plant cells
The function of the nucleus is..?
Stores DNA instructions for building - plant/animal cells
The function of the cytoplasm is..?
Contain organelles & holds stuff in place and protects them from damage - plant/animal cells
The function of the mitochondria is…?
Convert chemical energy stored in carbohydrates to use-able energy (ATP) - plant/animal cells
The function of the vacuoles is..?
hold various solutions for materials for cell function - plant/animal cells
The function of Lysosomes is..?
Break down Lipids, carbs, and Proteins to be used by the rest of the cell
Clear out any excess junk that may be floating around the cell
Animal cells
The function of Ribosomes is…?
Build Proteins by following the coded instructions from DNA & piecing them together (Amino acids)
Plant/Animal cells
The function of the Endoplasmic Rectulum is..?
- Synthesis of proteins ( rough ER)
- Synthesis of lipids, transports proteins, lipid, and ribosomes (Smooth ER)
Plant/Animal cells
The function of the Golgi Apparatus is…?
Modifies, sorts, and package proteins to be released outside of the cell
Plant/Animals
The function of chloroplasts is..?
Take energy from the sun and transform it into glucose (photosynthesis) to be used as food for plants
Plant cells
