Cell organelles and their functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a sausage shaped organelle that produces most of the ATP during respiration - ATP is the universal energy carrier | Mitochondrion |
| This organelle houses all the cells genetic material (DNA) and regulates cell's activities | Nucleus |
| Modifies proteins that are received from the Rough ER | Golgi Body |
| A system of tubules that transport proteins | Rough Endoplasmic reticulum |
| Involved in making the lipids for the cell | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Composed of cellulose. Used in both protection and structure. | Cell Wall |
| It forms a framework for the movement of organelles around the cytoplasm - most of the organelles are attached to this provides an important structural framework for cell shape. | Cytoskeleton |
| Primarily involved in locomotion but it also functions as a sensory organelle, being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell. | Flagella |
| The role of these organelles is to breakdown unwanted materials - they contain digestive enzymes | Lysosomes |
| These are the site of protein synthesis | Ribosomes |
| These organelles form spindles that allow the chromosomes to move and the cell to divide | Centrioles |
| These tiny structures make Ribosomes and RNA | Nucleolus |
| The site of photosynthesis in plant cells | Chloroplast |
