1 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
