These flashcards cover the functions of various cell organelles, focusing on their roles within the cell and specifically in cone cells.

Nucleus

Stores and protects the part of the cell that controls growth, reproduction, and function.

Mitochondria

Breaks down food into energy that the cell can use.

Cytoplasm

Provides space inside the cell for other cell parts to function.

Cell Membrane

Controls what enters and leaves the cell and helps protect the cell.

Function of Nucleus

Controls protein molecules and signals to move through the cell.

Function of Mitochondria

Converts food into energy used by the cell.

Function of Cytoplasm in Cones

Provides an area for light signals to travel inside the cone cells.

Function of Cell Membrane in Cones

Allows light signal signals into the cone cell and regulates their exit.
