Cell Organelles
Functions of the cell membrane
- support and shape the cell - assist in cell division - position organelles
Organizes microtubules to form cilia and flagella for cell motion or the movement of fluids past a cell
Centriole
Processes, sorts, and delivers proteins
Golgi apparatus
All cells are surrounded by a (cell wall / cell membrane) that is (rigid / flexible) and interacts with the environment.
cell membrane rigid
Only certain cells have a (cell wall / cell membrane), which is (rigid / flexible) and provides shape and support to cells.
cell wall flexible
Helps in the production of proteins and lipids
endoplasmic reticulum
The mitochondrion converts food into . . . that is usable by a cell.
energy
The cell walls in a plant are strong and (rigid / flexible) and adhere to each other, which helps to support the entire plant.
flexible
Contains enzymes that break down damaged and worn-out cell parts; defends a cell from invaders
lysosome
Supplies energy to the cell by converting molecules from food into usable energy
mitochondria
Stores most of the genetic information of a cell
nucleus
Link amino acids together to form proteins
ribosomes
Chloroplasts enable plants to convert (soil nutrients / solar energy) into energy-rich molecules that cells can use.
soil nutrients
A cell wall and a cell membrane are different. (T / F)
true
Stores materials needed by the cell; may help provide support to plant cells
vacuole
Carry certain molecules from place to place in a cell
vesicles
