ORGANELLES
STUDY GUIDE
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Membrane bound organelle that stores DNA (produces chromosomes) |
| Nucleolus | Located within the Nucleus and makes ribosomes |
| Cytoplasm | The contents of the interior of all cells |
| Cytosol | The gel - like matrix that makes up the cytoplasm |
| Cytoskeleton | Network of proteins for structures and support |
| Ribosome | Made of rRNA and protein and makes protein in all cells |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Membrane bound organelle in eukaryotes that makes protein for the endomembrane |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Membrane bound organelle in eukaryotes that makes lipids and detoxifies the cell |
| Golgi Apparatus | Membrane bound organelle in eukaryotes that sorts proteins |
| Mitochondria | Makes energy through cellular respiration for cells |
| Lysosome | Eukaryotic organelle that removes unwanted waste |
| Vacuoles | Stores water and nutrients and regulates water balance |
| Vesicles | Membrane bound spheres that transport materials (around the cells) |
| Cell Membrane | A thin flexible barrier that separates cells from its environment |
| Cell Wall | Rigid barrier that protects the cell in bacteria, fungi and plants |
| Large Central Vacuole | Large organelle in plants that stores water and regulates turgor pressure |
| Chloroplasts | Plant organelle that makes food using the process of photosynthesis |
