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)
