Cell Organelles
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Nucleus | Controls the cell and contains DNA |
Cell Membrane | Holds the cell together |
Cell Wall | Protects plant cells and gives it support |
Cytoskeleton | Supporting framework of the cell |
Mitochondria | Transforms chemical energy into sugars |
Chloroplasts | Preform photosynthesis in plant cells |
Ribosomes | Put together amino acids to make protiens |
Endoplasmic Recticulum (ER) | Provides areas for the processing molecules and provide transportation for these molecules around the cell |
Smooth ER | Produces lipids, breaks down molecule like aspirin, transports molecules |
Rough ER | Produces and transports protiens |
Golgi Apparatus | Modifies and adds special parts to cell products, makes protiens and lipids |
Lysosomes | Digests molecules, destroys/recycles cell part or organelles |
Vacuoles | Storage of water or food |
Placids | Sac- like structures that store pigments or starch in plant cells |
Cytoplasm | Contains the cell organelles |
Vesicles | transport material around the cell |
