Cells

?
Nucleus
Largest organelle in a cell, contains the cells genetic material
1 of 18
Nucleolus
A dense structure within the nucleus, creates ribonucleic acid and ribosomes
2 of 18
Nuclear envelope
Contains a number of nuclear pores which letslarger molecules through
3 of 18
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Studded with ribosomes, transports proteins to be synthesised at the ribosomes
4 of 18
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesises lipids and carbohydrates
5 of 18
Vacuole
Has no specific shape and contains water and other chemicals, important in maintaining turgor pressure
6 of 18
Chloroplasts
Responsible for photosynthesis, contains chlorophyll
7 of 18
Golgi apparatus
Modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles
8 of 18
Ribosomes
Constructed of RNA, the site of protein synthesis
9 of 18
Mitochondria
The siteof the final stages of respiration, energy is stored in the bonds of the complex
10 of 18
Lysosomes
Specialised forms of vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes, break down waste materials within cells
11 of 18
Vesicles
Membranous sacs with storage and transport roles, transport materials INSIDE the cell
12 of 18
Cellulose cell wall
Freely permeable, makes the cell rigid
13 of 18
Centrioles
Composed of microtubles, involved in assembly and organisation of spindle fibres in cell division
14 of 18
Cytoskeleton
A network of fibres vital for shape and stability of cells
15 of 18
Microfilaments
Formed fromthe protein actin, responsible for cell movement and contraction
16 of 18
Microtubules
Act as tracks for organelle movement
17 of 18
Intermediate fibres
Give mechanical strength
