1A Explain the role of cell organelles
for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells, including the cell membrane in
maintaining homeostasis
Structure
Function
Plant, Animal,
or Both
Vacuole
Membrane-bound sac that
acts as a storage area
Both
Chloroplast
Converts light energy into
carbohydrates
Plant
Mitochondria
Converts energy from food
molecules to energy in the
form of ATP
Both
Cytoplasm
Fluid material inside the
cell membrane, not
including the nucleus
Both
Nucleus
Golgi
Apparatus
Lysosome
Control center of a cell;
contains genetic
information
Modifies and packages
substances such as
proteins, sugars, and
enzymes
Contains enzymes to
digest and recycle
materials found in the
cytoplasm
Both
Both
Animals
Cell Wall
Structure in plants and
fungi that protects and
supports the organism
Plants
Ribosome
Responsible for protein
synthesis
Both
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Smooth
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Rough
Cell
Membrane
Moves molecules from one
part of the cell to another;
involved in synthesis of
lipids; has not ribosomes
Moves molecules from one
part of the cell to another
including proteins;
covered with ribosomes
Thin, flexible barrier that
surrounds the cell.
Regulates what materials
enter and leave the cell

Centrioles
Groups of microtubules
