Organelles in plants and animal cells review Flashcards
Nucleus function
Contains DNA
Nucleoulus function
Produce and assembles the cells ribosomes
Ribosome function
synthesizes proteins
Rough ER
produces proteins for the rest of the cell too function
Smooth ER
synthesizes lipids as in plasma membranes and steroids
Golgi body
helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules
Lysosomes
Break down and recycles macromolecules
Centrioles
organizes cell division
Vacuole
handle waste products, takes in waste and gets rid of it too
Large central vacuole
functions as a storage tank for water and other molecules
mitochondria
convert chemical energy in food to usable compounds
chloroplast
converts solar energy to chemical energy stored in food
cytoplasm
cell shape, material transport like genetic materials and products for cellular respiration
plasma (cell) membrane
provides protection for a cell transport and solutes
cell wall
regulates materials entering and leaving the cell; protects and supports cell
