Organelles Flashcards
What is the function of the mitochondria?
The mitochondria is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis?
The ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging and distributing proteins and lipids within the cell.
Which organelle contains enzymes that break down waste materials?
The lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials in the cell.
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, as well as detoxification processes in the cell.
Which organelle is responsible for maintaining cell shape and structure?
The cytoskeleton is responsible for maintaining cell shape and structure by providing support and facilitating cell movement.
What is the function of the nucleus?
The nucleus contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and is responsible for controlling cellular activities and gene expression.
Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?
The chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, converting sunlight into energy.
What is the function of the vacuole?
The vacuole is responsible for storing water, nutrients, and waste materials in the cell.
Which organelle is referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell?
The mitochondria is often referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell due to its role in energy production.
Cell membrane
Regulates what goes in and out acts as skin of cell
Cell wall
Only in plant cell made out of cellulose
Helps with protecting the cell from anything outside cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Thick fluid that contains the organelles and sorrow da organelles
Nucleolus
Produce ribosomes
Sticks of dna and chromatin
Chromosomes
