1. Cell Organelles 2010

2. Centrioles 1.Job: separates chromosomes during cell division 2.Location in cell: There are only two centrioles found on opposite sides of the cell, near the cell membrane 3. Animals only*** there are conflicting reports on this 4. Euk. **** color this organelle

3. Vacuole Central vacuole (in plants) 1.Job: Storage of water, sugar, salt, etc. & support for plants 2.Location in cell: In plants there is one large vacuole in center of cell, that provides support for the plant. In animals there are many small vacuoles throughout the cytoplasm. Both plant and animal Euk. **** color this organelle

4. Cell Membrane 1.Job: hold in contents of cell, and control what substances enter and leave the cell. 2.Location in cell: Animals: outermost part of the cell. Plants: just inside the cell wall. 3. Both 4. Both **** color this organelle

5. Cell Wall 1.Job: Provides structural support for plants 2.Location in cell: Outermost part of the plant cell. 3.Plants 4.Euk. **** color this organelle

6. Chloroplasts 1.Job: makes food (sugars) from sunlight 2.Location in cell: In cytoplasm, near the cell membrane. ** not found in plant roots. Why? 3. Plants 4. Euk. **** color this organelle

7. Chromatin **long stands of chromatin form chromosomes 1.Job: Stores gentic information (it is long piece of DNA) 2.Location in cell: Inside nucleus 3. Both 4. Both **** color this organelle

8. Cytoplasm 1.Job: provides support and transportation to various substances and organelles in the cell 2.Location in cell: everywhere inside the cell, except in the nucleus. ** 65% water 3. Both 4. Both **** color this organelle

9. ER 1.Job: helps in making and packaging proteins, steroids, glycogen, etc. 2.Location in cell: Near nucleus *** rough ER has ribosomes on the outside, smooth ER does not. 3.Both 4.Euk. **** color this organelle

10. Golgi Body 1.Job: Packages, stores, and transports proteins and other materials made in ER 2.Location in cell: Between ER and cell membrane 3. Both 4. Euk. **** color this organelle

11. Lysosomes 1.Job: contain enzymes to break down bacteria and harmful substances and recycle old cell parts. 2.Location in cell: floating in cytoplasm *** white blood cells, which fight disease have very high # of lysosomes. 3.Both 4.Euk. **** color this organelle

12. Mitochondria Mitochondrion (singular) 1.Job: converts food into energy for the cell. AKA: “powerhouse of the cell” 2.Location in cell: in cytoplasm *** muscles cells, which use a lot of energy, contain high # of mit. 3.Both 4.Euk. **** color this organelle

13. Nucleus 1.Job: Stores DNA, and directs all of cells activities. AKA: “the brain” 2.Location in cell: Animals: center of the cell Plants: as close to center as vacuole will allow. 3.Both 4.Euk **** color this organelle

14. Nuclear Membrane 1.Job: protects nucleus, controls what goes in or out 2.Location in cell: Surrounding the nucleus 3.Both 4.Euk. **** color this organelle

15. Ribosomes 1.Job: Produce/ make proteins 2.Location in cell: sometimes on ER sometimes free in cytoplasm 3.Both 4.Both **** color this organelle

16. Nucleolus 1.Job: Makes ribosomes 2.Location in cell: Dark spot inside nucleus 3.Both 4.Euk. **** color this organelle
