Cell Organelles

connects cell structures to their functions

StructureFunction
Nucleus controls rest of cell's actions; contains the genetic information of the cell (DNA) in the form of chromosomes
mitochondrion provides energy for the cell
endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes lipids and proteins
vacuole helps with intracellular digestion and acts as storage for the cell
centrosome produces micotubules that are involved in mitosis and in producing cilia and flagella
golgi body packages macromolecules for transport throughout the cell
chloroplast contains chlorophyll and is involved in photosynthesis
peroxisome protects the cell by breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen
cell wall provides and maintains the shape of prokaryotic and plant cells and provides a protective barrier
cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell
cytosol the "soup" that all the other organelles reside in; it contains proteins which control the cell's metabolism
ribosome synthesizes proteins
secretory vesicle packages cell secretions such as hormones and neurotransmitters and carries them to the cell surface for release
lysosome involved in cellular digestion
flagellum helps the cell to move
nucleolus produces ribosomes in the nucleus which are then transported to the endoplasmic reticulum
cilium plural is cilia; it works with other cilia to move the cell
