Nucleus
Largest organelle in size. It's the processing centre of the cell; contains most genetic material and controls the activity within the cell.
1 of 14
Nucleolus
Spherical structure centered in nucleus. Manufactures RNA components (proteins)
2 of 14
Nuclear envelope
Surrounds nucleus. Double membrane with pores to regulate passage.
3 of 14
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Continuous with the nuclear envelope and has ribosomes attached to their membranes. Manufactures and synthesises proteins.
4 of 14
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
Continuous with the nuclear envelope with no attached ribosomes. Used for lipid synthesis and processes a variety of metabolic processes.
5 of 14
Golgi apparatus/body
Individual/separate organelle with folded membranes. Modifies proteins received from RER and packs them into vesicles to be transported.
6 of 14
Ribosomes
Tiny spot-like looking organelles. Used for protein synthesis.
7 of 14
Mitochondria
Spherical or sausage shaped with a double membrane. This is where ATP is made.
8 of 14
Lysosomes
Spherical; like sliced olives. Contains digestive enzymes and breaks down waste products.
9 of 14
Chloroplasts
Only in plants and contains thylakoids. Used for photosynthesis.
10 of 14
Plasma (cell surface) membranes
Surrounds cell as a layer. Made of phospholipid layer and controls entry and exit of specific substances into the cell.
11 of 14
Centrioles
Star shaped tubes (usually a pair next to nucleus of animal cells). Forms spindle fibres for mitosis cell division.
12 of 14
Flagella
Hair-like extensions from cell surface. They move whole cells along (eg.sperm)
13 of 14
Cilia
Hair-like extensions from cell. They move substances along (eg.mucus)
