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 |
