Cells
| Organelle | Function |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | controls what enters and exits the cell |
| Flagella | helps cell move |
| Centrioles | helps organize DNA and cell division |
| Golgi Body | packages and distributes proteins (stacked pancakes) |
| Nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
| Ribosomes | makes protein |
| Mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell- to perform cellular respiration, with glucose and oxygen to make ATP |
| Nucleic Acid (DNA/RNA) | contain instructions / genetic info |
| Lysosomes | breaks down worn out cell parts |
| Cell wall | ridged outer layer - protection and creates the structure of the cell |
| Chloroplasts | site of photosynthesis (uses sunlight to create energy) |
| Smooth ER | the production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones (maze) |
| Rough ER | produces, folds, and does quality control for the proteins |
| Nucleus | the control center of the cell |
| Cytoplasm | anchor cell organelles, allow the movement of various substances, jelly like fluid |
| Peroxisomes | radical detoxification |
| Microtubules | provides structure and sometimes movement |
| Nuclear Membrane/ Envelope | boundary of nucleus and other organelles, protects genetic material |
| Vacuole | storage for nutrients and water, etc. |
