cells
organelles and their functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| nucleus( brain) | control center, contains DNA, ribosomes are made here |
| ribosome (ribs-meat-protein) | protein factories, made up of RNA and nucleic acid, found in the cytoplasm and rough ER |
| ER(endoplasmic reticulum) | proteins are modified here, lipids are assembled on the smooth ER, |
| golgi apparatus(gold packages) | modify, sort and package proteins |
| lysosomes (lysol cleans up germs) animal cell only | contain enzymes that digest or break down materials, fights against foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses |
| mitochondria (mighty-strong-energy) | powerhouse where we get our energy, during cell respiration they convert chemical energy into food for the cell |
| vacuoles | storage structures, stores water, salt, proteins, carbohydrates, plants use them for structure and support |
| chloroplasts- plant cell only | site of photosynthesis, during photosynthesis they convert sunlight into chemical energy |
| cytoskeleton | network of protein fibers that maintain cell structure |
| cell membrane | regulates what enters and leaves the cell, made up of lipids |
| cell wall- plant cell only | provides structure, cellulose |
| cytoplasm | jell-like substance that holds all the organelles in place |
