organelles of cell
Question | Answer |
---|---|
ribosomes | made of rRNA and proteins. Synthesizes proteins |
cell wall | Support (grow tall) Protection allows H2O, O2, CO2 to diffuse in & out of cell |
endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) | rough ER have ribosomes on the surface. They aid in the making of proteins. They transport materials with cells and to and from the cells. |
golgi apparutus | consists of a series of flattened sacs (or cisternae) functions include: synthesis (of substances likes phospholipids), packaging of materials for transport (in vesicles), and production of lysosomes |
lysosomes | Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules Digests old cell parts |
mitochondria | Breaks down sugar (glucose) molecules to release energy Site of aerobic cellular respiration |
centrioles | paired cylindrical structures located near the nucleus separates chromosomes during cell division |
cytoskeleton | Strengthen cell & maintains the shape Moves organelles within the cell |
cytoplasm | clear thick gel material inside cell membrane where organelles are located |
nucleus | holds DNA. Controls cell activities Contains the hereditary material of the cell |
cytosol | intracellular fluid (or cytoplasmic matrix) is the liquid found inside cells |
