Functions of Organelles

?
keeps the organelles inside the cell and organises the passage of substances
Cell Membrane
1 of 18
where DNA is stored
Nucleus
2 of 18
where RNA and ribosomes are made
Nucleolus
3 of 18
has tiny pores that allow mRNA and tRNA to pass through
Nuclear Envelope
4 of 18
Synthesise proteins
Ribosomes
5 of 18
Plays an important role in cell division
Centriole
6 of 18
Internal transferring system
Endoplasmic Reticulum
7 of 18
Packages proteins into vesicles
Golgi Apparatus
8 of 18
dissolves amino acids which organisms are suspended in
Cytosol
9 of 18
responsible for cellular respiration
Mitochondria
10 of 18
transports substances within the cell
vesicles
11 of 18
transports substances out of the cell
secretory vesicle
12 of 18
segregates chromosomes during cell division; form scaffold like structures for the movement of organelles; has intermediate fibres for mechanical strength
microtubule network
13 of 18
responsible for movement and contraction during cytokinesis; has lots of microfilaments formed from actin
cytoskeleton
14 of 18
contains digestive enzymes which breaks down invading cells or worn out cell components
lysosome
15 of 18
provides structure and stability
cell wall
16 of 18
maintains turgor pressure
permanent vacuole
17 of 18
moves to absorb light for photosynthesis
chloroplasts
