ribosomes
protein synthesis occurs at this organelle
nucleus
organelle which contains most of the DNA of the cell
lysosomes
contain digestive enzymes that are responsible for breaking down wastes within a cell or cells that are old and worn
vacuole
sacs for storage of salts, water, and/or carbohydrates
chloroplast
site of photosynthesis
flagella
long whip like projection of cell that aids in movement
cilia
short hair like projections of the cell that aids in movement
mitochondria
site of cellular respiration - the conversions of chemical energy of food into ATP
nucleolus
ribosomes are produced at this organelle
mitochondria
these organelles have an inner membrane called the cristae
golgi apparatus
processing, packing, and secreting organelle of the cell (UPS)
rough ER
studded with ribosomes, this organelle is involved in the synthesis of proteins
chromatin
granular material inside of the nucleus which consists of DNA bound to protein
smooth ER
contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks including the synthesis of membrane lipids and the detoxification of drugs
chloroplast and mitochondria
the two organelles which contain their own DNA
