Cell Organelles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Golgi Body | Packages and exports proteins. |
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Carries materials in the cell and helps make proteins. This organelle can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes). |
Mitochondria | Breaks down sugar molecules to release energy. This is where cellular respiration occurs. |
Ribosome | Synthesizes proteins. |
Lysosome | Found mainly in animal cells, this organelle breaks down larger food molecules into small ones and digests old cell parts. |
Chloroplast | Makes food for plant cells through the process of photosynthesis. |
Centriole | Found only in an animal cell, this organelle separates chromosome pairs during mitosis. |
Cillia or Flagella | Found only in animal, bacterial, and protozoan cells, these organelles allow the cell to move around. |
Membrane | Surrounds both the outside of the cell and the nucleus. It controls the movement into and out of the cell/nucleus. It also provides protection and support for the cell. |
Cell Wall | Provides protection and support for plant, but not animal cells. It allows water, oxygen,a nd carbon dioxide to move into and out of a cell. |
Vacuole | Stores and/or transports food, water, and waste in animal cells. Only a single, large one exists in the plant cell and stores large amounts of food. |
Nucleus | Controls cell activity and houses DNA. |
Nucleolue | Makes ribosomes. |
Cytoplasm | Supports and protects cell organelles. |
