cell organelles

?
function of the nucleus
contains and stores genetic information
1 of 14
function of the nucleolus
it makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and sends the subunits out into the rest of the cell where they combine into full ribosomes
2 of 14
function of ribosomes
a cell structure which makes protein
3 of 14
function of golgi apparatus
it sorts and packages proteins for secretion and it also helps with transporting lipids around the cell and the creation of lysosomes
4 of 14
function of lysosomes
they digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses and bacteria (lysosomes contain digestive enzymes)
5 of 14
function of mitochondria
performs respiration in a cell (mitochondria takes nutrients from the cell, breaks it down and turns it into energy)
6 of 14
function of chloroplasts
where photosynthesis takes place (they capture the light energy for photosynthesis)
7 of 14
function of the endoplasmic reticulum
cells transport system- materials to outside
8 of 14
function of rough endoplasmic reticulum
packages proteins (ribosomes are attached to the membrane oif the endoplasmic reticulum-making it rough)
9 of 14
function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
regulates and releases calcium ions and processes toxins- transport of materials
10 of 14
function of centrioles
helps with cell division in animal cells and help form spindle fibres that seperate chromosomes in cell division
11 of 14
function of the cell wall
provides strength and structure for the cell
12 of 14
function of the vacuole
holds materials and waste- also provides structure and support for a growing plant
13 of 14
function of the cell membrane
contols the movement of things in and out of the cell
