The Function of Organelles Assignment

Describe the function of each organelle. #4

The nucleus is an organelle that directs cell activity, acting as the control center. Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle that moves proteins and other substances through a cell. A ribosome is an organelle that produces proteins for a cell. Golgi apparatus is an organelle that packages and distributes proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Describe the function of each organelle. #5

A vacuole is an organelle used as temporary storage for water, waste products, food, and other cellular material A mitochondrion is an organelle that breaks down sugar molecules to supply energy to a cell. Lysosomes are organelles that contains digestive enzymes that break down waste material and debris in a cell. A cell membrane is an organelle that provides a protective layer around a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Describe the function of each organelle. #6

Cytoplasm is a jellylike substance that supports and protects organelles in a cell. A cell wall is a strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria. A cloroplast is a specialized organelle in green plant cells and some other photosynthetic organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy. Centrioles are a pair of cylindrical structures that are located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division.
