Organelle Review
Study the major organelles in the plant and animal cells
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell membrane | Regulates what enters and exits the cell |
| Nucleus | Considered to be “the brain of the cell”; Contains our DNA/Chromosomes |
| Nucleolus | Found inside of the nucleus; produces ribosomes |
| Ribosomes | Makes proteins (Think of Ribosomes- Ribs - Meat - Protein) |
| Vacuole/Vesicle | It stores food water and wastes; Plant cells have a larger vacuole than animal cells to store more materials. |
| Mitochondria | Produces energy for the cell to use (powerhouse of the cell); Site of respiration |
| Cytoplasm | IT IS NOT AN ORGANELLE!!! It is a gel-like substance that helps holds all the organelles in place. (Think of fruits held by jello) |
| Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Helps transport materials in the cell. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to it; The smooth ER doesn’t have ribosomes attached to it |
| Centrioles | Found only in animal cells; Aids in cell division by stretching out the cell so it can split during Mitosis |
| Golgi apparatus | Inspects and packages proteins |
| Lysosomes | Contains enzymes that help carry out cellular functions; Also helps clean the cell. |
| Cell Wall | Found only in plants. A rigid structure that supports and protects the cells of the plant; Made of cellulose |
| Chloroplast | Found only in plant cells; It is the site of photosynthesis; Contains chlorophyll which absorbs light and gives plants their green pigment |
| Nuclear Membrane | Regulates what enters and exits the nucleus |
