WSHS Bio Organelle
WSHS Biology Organelle Chart - Conner/Tedder
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| nucleus | controls cell function - holds DNA - the brain of the cell - in BOTH |
| ribosome | assembles proteins - acts like a factory - found on the rough ER and cytoplasm - in BOTH |
| rough ER | makes proteins - same function as ribosomes - ribosomes are found on the surface of them - in BOTH |
| smooth ER | makes lipids and detoxifies drugs - in ANIMAL only |
| golgi apparatus | modifies, sorts, and packs proteins - serves as the FedEx or UPS of the cell - in BOTH |
| lysosome | breaks down materials - stomach of the cell - Tay Sacs related to this because the lysosome can't break down lipids in those with Tay Sacs - in BOTH |
| central vacuole | stores materials (water, salt, proteins, poisons - in PLANT only |
| mitochondria | makes energy, converts chemical energy of food into heat energy - in BOTH |
| chloroplast | converts sunlight into chemical energy/photosynthesis - PLANT only |
| cell wall | supports the structure of the cell - only in PLANTS |
| cell/plasma membrane | regulates what enters and leaves the cell - in BOTH |
| cytoskeleton | helps cell maintain shape - in BOTH |
