(Biology I) Parts of the cell: Functions

Centrioles

Help with cell division (mitotic spindle)

Cytoplasm

Place where most metabolic reactions occur

Cell membrane

Decides what goes in and out of the cell to keep it healthy

Lysosome

Degrades cell waste

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Makes lipids

Cytoskeleton

Supports and gives shape to the cell

Mitochondria

Produces energy in the from of ATP via aerobic respiration

Golgi Apparatus

Sends proteins like packages to the cell

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

In charge of protein synthesis

Ribosomes

Makes proteins

Nucleolus

Produced ribosomes

Nucleous

Contains genetic information

Cell wall

Protection

Cell membrane (plant)

Decides what goes in and out of the cell to keep it healthy

Chloroplasts

Photosynthesis

Central Vacuole

Contains water, starch, and salts

Capsule

Adheres to surface and protects

Plasmid

Carry genes
