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 |
