Biology Organelles

TermDefinition
Nucleus The control center of the cell
Golgi Apparatus When newly formed proteins leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum, they are transported to this organelle, where the proteins are sorted and packaged
Cell membrane The part of the cell that controls what enters and leaves the cell
Mitochondria This serves as the "powerhouse" of the cell
Chloroplasts This is the site of photosynthesis in a plant cell
Ribosomes These may be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
Chromoplasts This organelle contains pigments of all colors except green
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The type of endoplasmic reticulum to which no ribosomes are attached
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum . The type of endoplasmic reticulum to which ribosomes are attached
Cytoskeleton This is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
Nuclear Membrane This porous structure surrounds the nucleus, keeping it intact
Nucleolus This part of the cell manufactures the ribosomal subunits
Lysosomes The part of the cell contains strong digestive enzymes to break down proteins, carbohydrates and lipids into small molecules that can be sued by the rest of the cell.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The place where lipids are manufactured
Cytoskeleton This organelle consists of two types of fibers called microfilaments and microtubules
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Newly made proteins are inserted into spaces of this organelle where they are modified and shaped into functioning proteins
Golgi Apparatus This organelle puts the "finishing touches" on proteins before they are shipped off to their final destinations
Central Vacoule This large structure in a plant cell is filled with water creating turgor pressure
Chloroplasts This organelle has the unique ability to absorb the energy from the sun and convert it into a molecule of glucose
Leukoplasts This organelle serves as a storage area for starch in a plant cell
Cell Wall This organelle is composed of tough, stringy cellulose fibers
Lysosomes This organelle helps to "clean up" or destroy any debris that might build up inside the cell
Mitochondria This is the site of cellular respiration
Cytoskeleton This is an internal framework and support system to give shape and organization to a cell
Chromoplasts This organelle gives fruits and flowers their color

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.
