Functions of Organelles

?
cell/ plasma membrane
protect the cell from it's surroundings/ keeps it together/ controls the movement of solutes in and out of the cell
1 of 15
cell wall
provides support
2 of 15
nucleus
stores DNA/ coordinates the cells activity
3 of 15
nucleolus
the of synthesis of: transfer of RNA, ribsomal RNA, ribsomal subunits
4 of 15
lysosome
digestion of enzymes/ waste removal
5 of 15
rough endoplasmic reticulum
site of protein synthesis/ storage of proteins
6 of 15
smooth endoplamic reticulum
site of lipid synthesis and the secretion (of lipids) within cell
7 of 15
vesicle
transports and stores substances from one cell to another
8 of 15
golgi apparatus/ bodies
modifies, sorts and packages macro-molecules for delivery to other organelles or excretion from the cell
9 of 15
mitochondria
generates energy
10 of 15
chloroplasts
site of photosynthesis
11 of 15
centrosome
responsible for cell division
12 of 15
cilia
moves liquid pass the surface of the cell
