Organelles
hi
| Organelle | Job |
|---|---|
| Lysosome | These organelles break down the cell's waste products and detoxify poisons |
| Cell Wall | give the cell strength and structure |
| Cell Membrane | This thin lining controls what molecules enter and leave the cell. |
| Nucleus | This key organelle holds the cell's genetic material, and dictates which proteins the cell produces |
| Nucleolus | The nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA |
| Nuclear Envelope | The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane with multiple pores. The pores regulate the passage of macromolecules like proteins and RNA, but permit free passage of water, ions, ATP and other small molecules |
| Golgi Apparatus | puts lipids and proteins in packets (vesicles), and sends them to different parts of the cell |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | often ships proteins to the Golgi Apparatus |
| Vacuole | Stores Food And Water |
| Mitochondria | Converts Sunlight Into Energy |
| Ribosome | Produce Protein |
| Chloroplast | Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant |
| Cytoplasm | maintains the internal pressure of the cell |
