Organelles Flashcards
The parts of the cell, each has a job.
Organelles
This is a semi-permeable barrier that allows some things in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
This is a semi-permeable barrier that allows some things in and out of the nucleus.
Nuclear Membrane
These make proteins.
Ribosomes
This organelle packages materials for transport throughout the cell.
Golgi bodies
The goo everything inside a cell floats around in.
Cytoplasm
The site of respiration. (making energy)
Mitochondria
This helps animal cells to divide.
Centrioles
The control center of the cell.
Nucleus
This organelle is the transport system in the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Storage unit for water, food, wastes or air.
Vacuole
This is filled with digestive enzymes to break down food.(aka suicide sacs)
Lysosome
This makes ribosomes.
Nucleolus
These contain all the recipes, instructions or blue prints for everything the cell makes or does; made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Chromosomes
These are found only in plant cells. They contain chlorophyll; they are the site of photosynthesis where plants turn H2O and CO2 into food (glucose)
Chloroplasts
