Eukaryotic Organelles description and function

Description- Large organelle surrounded by double membranes which contains pores

Function- Controls cell function by controlling the transcription of DNA

Description- Membrane surrounding cell. Made mainly of phospholipids and proteins

Function- Regulates movement of substances. Responds to chemicals like hormones

Description- Oval shaped with a double membrane

Function- Sites of aerobic respiration. Responsible for the production of ATP

Description- Surrounded by double membrane

Function- Where photosynthesis takes place

Description- Group of fluid-filled membrane-bound flattened sacs

Function- Processes and packages new lipids and proteins

Description- Small fluid-filled sacs produced by the golgi apparatus

Function- Transport proteins and lipids made by golgi

Description- Round organelle surrounded by membrane

Function- Contains digestive enzymes called lysozames. Digest invading cells or break down worn out components

Description- Made from RNA and proteins

Function- Site where proteins are made

Description- System of membranes enclosing a fluid-filled space. Surface coated with membranes

Function- Fold and process proteins

Description- Similar to RER but without the ribosomes
