Organelles
Cell parts and their functions
Structure | Function |
---|---|
Ribosomes | Makes proteins (cellular products) |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | an arganelle that is made of folded membranes and assembles proteins and parts of the cell membrane |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Transports proteins |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Makes lipids (fats - to store energy) and breaks down toxins |
Golgi Complex | Modifies proteins and packages and sends them where they need to go |
Vacuole | a vesicle that stores and transport water |
Large central vacuole | Stores water and maintains cell size and shape - Plant Cell Only |
Chloroplast | Photosynthesis occurs here to convert sunlight into food - Plant Cell Only |
Lysosome | digests and eats waste materials, organelles and foreign invaders. |
Cell Membrane | acts as a barrier and controls what enters and exits the cell. |
Cell Wall | Provides support and protection to the cell - Plant Cell Only (also part of bacteria, fungi and Archaeal cells) |
Cytoplasm | Fluid inside a cell that contains all of the organelles inside of the cell. |
Nucleus | Contains the cells DNA, controls the cell and tells the cell what to do or make |
Cytoskeleton | Gives shape and support to cells, assists with cell division and movement of cells |
Mitochondria | Makes ATP or Cell Energy; Where cellular respiration occurs to convert food into the energy that is required to power all cellular processes. |
Vesicle | transports substances where they need to go in the cell |
Nucleolus | Makes ribosomes |
