Flashcards: Cell Structure & Function –Organelles
Cell membrane
controls materialsgoing into and out of the cell (all cells)
Cell wall
provides strength and support to the cell membrane (plant cells, bacteria)
Centrioles
involved in cell division (animal cells)
Chloroplasts
organelle where photosynthesis occurs (plant cells)
Chromosomes
contain DNA (all cells)
Cytoplasm
surround and support the cell’s organelles (all cells)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
internal delivery system of the cell (eukaryotic cells)
Golgi bodies (Golgi apparatus )
external delivery system of the cell (eukaryotic cells)
Lysosomes
digest food, wastes, and foreign invaders (animal cells, uncommon in plant cells)
Mitochondria
breaks down food to make energy –ATP (eukaryotic cells)
Nucleolus
stores materials used to make ribosomes (eukaryotic cells)
Nucleus
control center of the cell (eukaryotic cells)
Ribosomes
makes proteins (all cells)
Vacuole
storage container for water and other liquids (eukaryotic cells)
