FEEL FREE TO USE MS. SKELLY’S CHART BELOW & THE INFORMATION ON IT TO MAKE YOUR FLASH CARDS.
DO NOT USE THIS INFORMATION TO COMPLETE TASK 1. SHE WANTS TO SEE WHAT YOU FOUND AND INPUT INTO THE CHART FOR TASK 1,
Name of Organelle
Function
NUCLEUS
Control center of cell-acts like the brain; contains DNA; contains nucleolus/ large, oval body
in cell, may be in the center
Supports the organelles in the cell/ fluid filled region of the cell
Make protein/ small round bodies; float freely in cytoplasm or attached to E.R.
Breaks down nutrients and convert to energy; Powerhouse of the cell/ rod-shaped; look like
a bean; highly folded-membrane
Packages materials and sorts them for transport within cell or out of cell / stacked, folded
membrane, pancake-like structure
Manufacturing, packaging & transport system- Rough ER w/ribosomes attached makes
protein; Smooth ER w/no ribosomes makes other materials, packages materials and
transports them/ network of membranes & tubes, RER attached to nuclear membrane
Breaks down larger nutrient molecules into small pieces the cell can use, or digests old cell
parts; uses digestive enzymes/ small, round ball-like structures
Storage organelle-may store nutrients and, or water/ larger in plants
Converts light energy from sun to sugar plants can use (photosynthesis); requires
chlorophyll molecules/ oval, green structures
Supports and protects cell-allows movement of materials in & out of cell; selectivelypermeable / has pores, outermost layer of animal cell, inside the cell wall of plant cell
Rigid layer that supports the cell and helps cell maintain its shape/ outer most layer of a
plant cell
Makes ribosomes/ round sphere found in a nucleus
Aid in cell division (mitosis & meiosis); found near nucleus & migrate to opposite ends of
cell when dividing/ set of two, look like short twizzler
Controls movement in & out of nucleus; selectively permeable / thin layer, has pores
Structure & support system for the cell; connects to each organelle and cell membrane; acts
like a “skeleton”/ net-like in appearance, can flex & allows movement of cell
Determine physical characteristics of organism/ found in nucleus, wavy lines when not
duplicating; look like Xs when duplicating
