Cell Organelle Flashcard Function/Definitions
2
Cell Wall: provides protection, shape & support for plant cells. Gives plants rigid structure.
3
Cell Membrane: Flexible cover around cell that controls movement of materials in & out of cell. Separates and protects cell from outside. environment.
4
Cytoplasm: Thick watery fluid inside the cell that contains the organelles.
5
Ribosome: Place where proteins are synthesized (made/built). Either free floating or attached to ER.
6
Nucleus: Control center of cell. Holds genetic information called DNA.
7
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid):
Genetic material found in nucleus. Also called chromosomes.
8
Endoplasmic Reticulum:
Assists in production, processing and transport of proteins and the production of lipids (fats). Smooth ER Rough ER
9
Mitochondria: Power house of cell. Uses oxygen to break down sugar to release energy (ATP) in a process called cellular respiration. Happens in plant & animal cells.
10
Chloroplasts: Absorbs light energy, water & carbon dioxide to make glucose (sugar) & oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. Found in plant cells (not animal).
11
Vesicle: small sac that surrounds material to be moved in or out of the cell.
12
Golgi complex: Modifies, sorts & ships molecules that are made in the ER. Post office of the cell.
13
Responsible for digestion in the cell. Destroys worn-out organelles.
Lysosome: Responsible for digestion in the cell. Destroys worn-out organelles.
14
Large Central Vacuole:
Found in plant cells. Stores water, food & waste materials.
15
Centriole: Found in animal cells. Helps separate chromosomes during cell division.
16
Animal Cell
17
Plant Cell
