Organelles

?
What is the nucleus and its function?
It contains DNA and is involved with cell division/replication and protein synthesis.
1 of 9
What is the rough ER and its function?
It contains ribosomes and is the site of protein synthesis. It also acts as a passway for substances across the cell.
2 of 9
What is the smooth ER and its function?
This contains NO ribsomes and it synthesises, transports and stores carbohydrates and lipids.
3 of 9
What is the golgi apparatus and its function?
This receives packages from the rough ER and stores and modifies them.
4 of 9
What are the lysosomes and their function?
They breakdown substances/organelles/cells and contain and transport enzymes.
5 of 9
What are the ribosomes and their function?
These are the site of protein synthesis. They can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER.
6 of 9
What is the cytoplasm and its function?
It is a watery solution containing the organelles, enzymes and dissolved substances and the site of translation.
7 of 9
What is the mitochondria and its function?
This is the site of respiration and it produces ATP.
8 of 9
What is the cell membrane and its function?
This is made up of a phospholipid bilayer and controls what comes in and out of the cell.
