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)
