unit 2 honors bio parts of a cell

Ribosome

Structures found in all cells that are the site of protein synthesis

Mitochondria

Organelles that use energy stored in glucose to make ATP, which cells use for energy

Vesicles

Small sac like organelles that transport materials inside a cell

Lysosomes

Organelles that use enzymes to break down molecules so their components can be recycled

Golgi apparatus

An organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion out of the cell, or for use within the cell

Nucleus

An organelle that contains most of the cell’s DNA and acts as the control center of the cell

Chromosomes

Coiled structures made of DNA and protein that are the form of genetic material present during cell division

Endoplasmic reticulum

An organelle that helps make the proteins and lipids and transports proteins in the cell

Cytoplasm

The material inside the cell membrane, including the watery cytosol and other cell structures except the nucleus

Cell membrane

The thin coat of phospholipids that surrounds a cell and controls what enters/leaves the cell
