1. Cell Organelles What you need to know

2. An organelle is a membrane- bound structure that carries out specific activities for the cell.

3. You will need to know the following organelles and their function: Cell Membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Mitochondria Golgi Complex Ribosomes Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Cell Wall Chloroplast Central Vacuole Lysosome

4. Cell Membrane Every cell is enclosed by a cell membrane. It controls the passage of materials in and out of the cell.

5. Nucleus The control center of the cell. It contains the DNA code for the cell coiled into chromosomes.

6. Cytoplasm (not an organelle - but important) All organelles reside (live and float around in) the cytoplasm.

7. Mitochondria This organelle processes energy for a cell. It makes ATP. (ATP = energy) Involved in cellular respiration.

8. Golgi Complex The protein packaging and transport center of the cell. Has incoming and outgoing vesicles.

9. Ribosomes (not an organelle - but important) Synthesizes proteins. Present in the cytoplasm. Present with Rough ER. No membrane present.

10. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Transports materials throughout the cell. Digests lipids. Produces proteins.

11. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Covered with ribosomes. Produces proteins. Transports materials throughout the cell.

12. Centrioles Produce Microtubles Produce Micotic Spindle, crucial for mitosis

13. Lysosome Breaks down materials for digestion. Contains special enzymes for digestion in the cell.

14. Cilia and Flagella Cilla move substances around the cell Flagella move the cell
