Organelles function Flashcards
Chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis
Nucleus
Controls cell activity
Cell wall
Supports plant cells
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
Folds and processes proteins made at the ribosome
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis/production
Centriole
Involved in the separation of chromosomes during cell division
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesises and processes lipids
Flagellum
Used to propel cells forward
Lysosomes
Contains digestive enzymes to break things down
Plasma membrane
Regulates the movement of substances in and out the cell
Nucleolus
Site of ribosome production
Nuclear envelope
Separates contents of the nucleus from the rest of the cell
Cilia
Hair like structure that moves substances along the cell surface
Vesicle
Transports substances in and out the cell and between organelles
Golgi apparatus
Processes and packages new lipids and proteins
Makes Lysosomes
