Match Organelle with its function

Mitochondria

Produces ATP for the cell

Chloroplast

Absorbs sunlight and turns it into useable energy

Centrioles

Animal cells only; involved in cell division

Lysosome

Contain digestive enzymes to break down substances; more common in animal cells

Nuclear Envelope

Controls what enters and exits the nucleus

Cell membrane

Controls what enters and leaves the cell

Cytoskeleton

Made of microtubules and microfilaments; provides an inner framework for the cell

Cell wall

Made up of cellulose in plants; outer structural support for plant and prokaryotic cells

Nucleolus

Manufactures parts of ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

Packages proteins into sacs called secretary vesicles and ships to various parts of the body; produces lysosomes

Nucleus

Protects and controls access to DNA

Cytoplasm

Semi-fluid substance inside cell where reactions take place; helps to suspend or support organelles

Ribosome

Small organelles that produce proteins

Vacuole

Stores water; food and wastes for cell. Very large in plant cells; can be contractile to remove excess water from freshwater organisms

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Two kinds; one works with ribosome to produce proteins (RER); other produces lipids and carbohydrates; send material to golgi body (SER)
