Organelle Flash Cards

Nucleus

Function: Control center of the cell Contains DNA

Rough ER

Function: Synthesizes proteins

Smooth ER

Function: Synthesizes lipids

Mitochondria

Functions: Produces Energy

Chromatin

Function: Uncoiled DNA

Ribosome

Function: Makes proteins

Chloroplasts

Function: Created food for plant cells

Cytoplasm

Function: Contains all the organelles for the cell. Jelly-like substance

Cell Wall

Function: the Outer most barrier for the plant cell. Support and structure

Golgi Bodies

Function: Packages Proteins

Cell Membrane

Function: Regulates what enters and leaves the cell

Nucleolus

Function: Makes ribosomes and RNA

Cytoskeleton

Function: Provide support and structure for the cell

Vacuoles

Function: Stores materials and waste

Lysosomes

Function: Recycling center of the cell. Enzymes breakdown old cell parts.

Centrioles

Function: Moves chromosomes during cell
division

Microfilament

Functions: Associated with
muscle contractions in large
organisms. Associated with cell
movement

Microtubule

Function: Provide shape and
rigidity to the cell. Assist organelles to move from place to place within
the cell
