Cell Organelles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chloroplasts | Contains chlorophyll, site of photosynthesis, Plant/algae cells only |
| Plasma (Cell) Membrane | Semipermeable boundry of cell, regulates transports in/out of cell |
| Cytoplasm | Fluid inside cell, circulates substances for metabolism (o2, sugar,ect) |
| Mitochondria | Site of aerobic respiration, release calories from food to make ATP (cell energy) |
| Nucleus | Eukaryotes only, Contains DNA (hereditary material) |
| Vacuole | Membrane bubbles, contains food, water, or wastes |
| Ribosomes | Site of protein synthesis |
| Centrioles | Help separate chromosomes during animal cell division (Mitosis) |
| Golgi Apparatus (Body) | Transport organelle, packages and modifies cell products for export |
| Cell Wall | Surrounds and supports plant cells (made of cellulose) |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Transport organelle, network of tunnels for intracellular transport |
| Lysosomes | Vacuoles that contain digestive enzymes to break down food and old organelles |
