FLASH CARD
REVIEW:
Organelles
What is the
function of the
nucleus?
• Store DNA (genetic
material)
• Control cellular processes
What is the
function of the
Mitochondrion?
• Convert stored energy in sugars (food)
into ATP.
• “Powerhouse” of the cell.
What is the
function of the
Chloroplast?
• Convert Sunlight (light energy) into
stored energy in sugars (food).
• Does Photosynthesis.
What does the
Golgi Body
do?
• Packages & Ships
macromolecules around the
cell and out of the cell.
What does the
Endoplasmic
Reticulum do?
• Produces Fatty Acids &
Proteins (using ribosomes).
What does a
Ribosome do?
•Makes protein!
What is the
function of a
Vacuole?
• Store water and nutrients.
• Also keeps plant cells “full” and
rigid!
What do
Lysosomes
do?
• Use enzymes to digest
cellular parts.
What do
Peroxisomes
do?
• Break down hydrogen peroxide.
• REMEMBER: Hydrogen Peroxide is harmful to
our cells.
– Hydrogen Peroxide is a by-product of fatty acid
synthesis.
What do
centrioles do?
• Help organize and rearrange DNA
(chromosomes) during Cell
Division (replication).
Which organelle
makes protein?
•The ribosome.

Which organelle
stores water
and nutrients?

converts lightenergy into stored
energy in sugar?
•The chloroplast
Which organelle
produces fatty
acids and
proteins?
• The endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle
breaks down
hydrogen
peroxide?
•The peroxisome.
