Cell Organelles

lysosome

-breaks down celluar waste and foreign invaders

Chloroplast

- carry out light dependent reactions (LDR)

- produces chlorophyll

Amyloplast

-starch storage and synthesis

- gravitropism

Vacuole

- storage of water, nutrients, and waste

- maintaining turgor pressure

Plasma membrane

- Selective permeability

- transport

-structural support

Centriole

- organises spindle fibres for cell division

Flagella

- locomotion

- sensory perception

Cilia

- sensory perception

- mobility in fallopian tubes and respiratory tracts

Cytoskeleton

- Providing structural support and maintains shape of the cell

- enables movement and transport

Cell wall

- structural support

- protection against mechanic and osmotic stress

Nucleus

-The control centre

-Stores the genome

-Transmits genetic info

-Provides instructions for protein synthesis

RER

-intercellular transport

-Provides a large surface area for ribosomes

SER

-synthesises lipids and phospholipids

-metabolises harmful compounds + carbohydrates

Golgi apparatus

-sorts and packages proteins and lipids from the ER

-"post office" of the cell

Ribosome

-protein synthesis (when bound to the RER)

-The site of the assembly of protein (when free in the cytoplasm)

Mitochondria

-producing ATP

-Site of respiration

-oxidative and phosphorylation

-Krebs cycle
