Nucleus
- Contains genetic information. - Controls cell activities
1 of 14
Nucleoulus
- Produces ribosomes.
2 of 14
Nuclear Envelope
- Allow exchange between nucleus and cytoplasm. - Controls movement of materials in and out
3 of 14
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Has ribosomes attached for protein synthesis.
4 of 14
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Synthesises lipids. - Produces steroid hormones in reproductive organs. - Breaks down toxins.
5 of 14
Golgi Apparatus
- Packages and processes proteins.
6 of 14
Ribosomes
- Protein synthesis
7 of 14
Mitochondria
- Site of aerobi cellular respiration. - Breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP.
8 of 14
Lysosomes
- Breaks down larger food molecules. - Digest old organelles and unwanted substances.
9 of 14
Chloroplasts
- Contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis
10 of 14
Plasma Membrane
- Controls what leaves and enters cell
11 of 14
Centrioles
- Make and organise microtubules for usage as spindle fibres in cell division.
12 of 14
Cilia
- Movement; usually move fluids over surface of cell
13 of 14
Flagella
- Movement; usually help the cell move through a liquid
