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
