Organelles (Science)

What is the function of the chloroplast

The function of the chloroplast is to convert energy from the sun into energy rich food (photosynthesis)

What is the function of the mitochondria

The function of the mitochondria is to produce ATP (energy)

What is the function of he ribosome

The function of the ribosome is to use the messages from the nucleus to synthesize proteins

What does the nucleus do

The nucleus sends out messages to the other organelles

What is the process that the mitochondria performs to make energy

The process is called cellular respiration

Function of the cell membrane

To control what enters and exists the cell (called transport)

Function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

To move items in different parts of the cell

Function of vacuoles

To store food nutrients water waste etc...

Cytoplasm

Where all the organelles in a cell are located

Chloroplasts are only found in

Plants

Difference between smooth and rough ER

Smooth ER don't have ribosomes attached to them but rough ER do

Cell wall

Additional layer of protection found in all plant cells and some bacteria cells

Lysosomes are only found in

Animal cells

Plants have merger vacuoles than animal cells

Because they need to store more water

Organelle

Structures that make up a cell

Where is DNA found in a cell

DNA is found in the nucleus

Function of lysosomes

Hold enzymes that were created by the cell, digest things
