Organelles! Tiny little cell parts…
Plasma/Cell membrane Location = surrounds cell Function = protection & selective permeable (lets certain items in & out) Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = both
Cytoplasm Location = inside cell (outside the nucleus) Function = suspends organelles Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = both
Cytoskeleton Location = in cytoplasm Function = structure & support Microtubules = thin, hollow proteins Microfilaments = thin, solid proteins Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Nucleus Location = near center of cell in cytoplasm Function = controls the cell; leader! Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Chromatin Location = in nucleus (or in cytoplasm in prokaryotes) Function = genetic code; passes traits to offspring Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = both
Nuclear envelope Location = around nucleus Function = has pores to let contents move in/out Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Nucleolus Location = in nucleus Function = makes ribosomes Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Ribosome Location = in cytoplasm & on rough ER Function = makes proteins Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = both
Endoplasmic reticulum Location = in cytoplasm (smooth ER: w/o ribosomes & rough ER: with ribosomes) Function = transport & cellular chemical reactions Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Golgi apparatus Location = in cytoplasm Function = modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from ER Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Mitochondria Location = in cytoplasm Function = produce energy in the form of ATP Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Vacuole Location = in cytoplasm Function = temporary storage Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = both (only plants have a central vacuole)
Lysosome Location = in cytoplasm Function = digests substances Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes Plant/animal/both = both
Centriole Location = in cytoplasm Function = organize cell division Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryotes (but not all kinds) Plant/animal/both = animal
Cilia/ Flagella Location = cell outer surface Function = locomotion & feeding Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = animal
Cell wall Location = outside the cell membrane Function = support & protection Pro/Eu/both = both Plant/animal/both = PLANT
Chloroplast Location = in cytoplasm Function = capture light energy / make food Pro/Eu/both = Eukaryote Plant/animal/both = PLANT
