Cell Organelles
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Nucleus | A membrane bound organelle that contains genetic material in eukaryotes. |
Mitochondrion | A membrane bound organelle which is the power house of the cell and is responsible for cellular respiration and produces most of the ATP. |
Chloroplast | Organelles in plants that use photosynthesis to produce oxygen and glucose using carbon dioxide and water which also provides food for the plant. |
cell wall | The cell wall is found in plants which help provide the plant with structural support and protects the plant as well. |
plasma membrane | The plasma membrane otherwise known as the cell membrane which regulates the transport of molecules out and within the cell. |
ribosome | The ribosomes are responsible for being packaged into proteins which move around the cell. |
rough endoplasmic reticulum | The RER packages the ribosomes to make proteins which are then transported out of the cell. |
smooth endoplasmic reticulum | The SER main function is to synthesize lipids and detoxify harmful metabolic byproducts. |
Golgi body | The Golgi body transports proteins to the cell membrane to be transported out of the cell through the cell membrane. |
lysosome | The lysosome breaks down organelles that don't work it gets rid of the waste. |
vacuole | The vacuole stores water |
cytoplasm | |
vesicle | |
cytoskeleton | |
cilium | |
flagellum | |
prokaryote | |
eukaryote |
