AP Bio Organelles

Cytoplasm Function

Gives the cell its shape, keeps organelles and cell components in place

Nucleus Function

Houses DNA, controls cell activity, where mRNA is located

Nucleolus Function

Produces ribosomes

Nuclear Membrane Function

Controls what goes in/out of nucleus, allows mRNA to leave nucleus

Lysosome Function

Kill pathogens, destroy worn out organelles, digest the cells itself (apoptosis)

Ribosomes Function

Makes protein from mRNA

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Function

Modifies proteins

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Synthesize lipids, detoxify toxic chemicals

Golgi Apparatus Function

Processing and shipping protein and lipid molecules from ER

Vacuole

Stores waste

Central Vacuole

Stores water for plants cells

Cell Membrane

Controls what goes in/out cells

Cell Wall

Protects and supports, controls what goes in/out of cell

Cilia

Provides movement

Flagella Function

Provides movement

Centrioles Function

Separate chromosomes during cell division

Mitochondria

Creates ATP from sugar (cellular respiration)

Chloroplast

Creates sugar from sunlight (photosynthesis)

Only found in plants
