Cell Organelles
Cell organelles and their functions
Organelle | Function |
---|---|
Cytoplasm | Holds everything but cell membrane and nucleus |
Cytosol | Holds non-membrane bound particles and liquid |
Nucleus | Control center, houses DNA |
Nuclear Envelope | Decides what goes in and out of nucleus |
Centrioles | Cell division in animals |
Ribosomes | Protein factories |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | Transportation system, synthesizes proteins and lipids |
Golgi Apparatus | Storage, modification, and packaging of proteins from ER |
Lysosomes | Break down old, diseased cells and molecules |
Peroxisomes | Neutralize free radicals, break down fatty acids for mitochondria |
Glyoxysomes | Break down fats for energy in plant seeds |
Vacuoles | Store salt, water, protein |
Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell, cellular respiration |
Plastid | Double membrane organelle in plants |
Chloroplasts | Turn sunlight into energy, photosynthesis |
Cytoskeleton | Anchors and supports cell, helps with movement |
Microtubules | Anchor and support cell |
Intermediate Filaments | Support shape of nucleus |
Microfilaments | Help with movement in the cell |
Cell membrane | Decides what comes in and out of cell, provides protection |
Cell wall | Provides support and protection for cell |
Capsule | Part of bacterial cell wall |
Peptidoglycan | Only part of bacterial cell wall |
Nucleoid | Area where DNA is located in bacterial cell |
Nucleolus | Houses DNA and produces ribosomes |
Plasmid | Small, circular DNA in bacteria |
Mesosome | Organelles used for division and excretion in bacterial cell membrane |
Cilia | Short extension that aids in bacterial cell movement |
Flagella | Long extension that aids in bacterial cell movement |
Pili | Help cell conjugate with things |
Fimbriae | Help cell attach to things |
DNA | Genetic material that is house in nucleus/nucleoid |
