Cell organelles

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
