biology organelle functions

lysosomes (hint: "lysol")

breaks down and recycles materials (cleans cell)

what organelles are cellular boundaries? (2)

cell wall and cell membrane

what organelles capture and release energy? (2)

chloroplasts and mitochondria

nucleus

contains DNA / DNA is stored here

mitochondria

converts chemical energy in food into usable energy

chloroplasts

converts solar energy into chemical energy stored in food

cell membrane

decides what enters/exits the cell; protects/supports the cell

centrioles

helps with cell divison

cytoskeleton

maintains cell shape; moves cell parts; helps cells move

nucleolus

makes ribosomes (center of nucleus)

golgi apparatus/body

modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for storage or transport

what organelles are in the cellular control center? (2)

nucleus and nucleolus

eukaryotic cell

organisms with nucleus and membrane bound organelles ex. plant cells and animal cells

prokaryotic cell

organisms without nucleus and membrane bound organelles ex. bacteria

what organelles build proteins? (3)

ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus

cell wall

shapes, supports, and protects the cell

vacuoles and vesicles

stores materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates (depending on the organism)

ribosomes

synthesize proteins

what organelles clean up, store, and support the cell? (4)

vacuoles/vesicles, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, centrioles

endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

assembles/arranges proteins and lipids (fats)
