Cell Organelles

OrganelleFunction
Organelle A specialized cell part that carries out specific functions to ensure a cell's survival.
Cell Membrane A thin covering that separates the inside of a cell from its external environment.
Cell Wall (Plant Cell Only) A tough, rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane.
Cytoplasm A jelly like substance that contains the organelles and other life supporting materials, such as water and sugar.
Mitochondria Organelles that are specialized to provide energy for cells by changing sugar called glucose into usable energy.
Chloroplasts (Plant Cell Only) Trap the energy from the sun and make glucose. (Photosynthesis)
Ribosomes Small organelles that do not have a membrane. A manufacturing plant for proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum A network of membrane-covered channels within a cell. This organelle acts as a transport system for materials made in the cell.
Vesicles Membrane-covered sacs that form off the ends of the endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles transport new proteins to the golgi body.
Golgi Body A specialized organelle that sorts and packages proteins for transport. If a protein is to be transported out of the cell, a vesicle will form off the end of the organelle.
Vacuoles Membrane-covered storage containers within cells. Mostly found in plant cells.
Nucleus The organelle that controls all the activities of the cell parts.
Nuclear Membrane A membrane which is similar in structure to the cell membrane that protects the nucleus.
Nucleolus A membrane free organelle that floats in the nucleus. This organelle make ribosomes.
Nuclear Pores Openings in the nuclear membrane that only allow certain materials into and out of the nucleus.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
