Biology - Functions and structures of organelles

Golgi Body

Process and packages proteins

Nucleus

Controls the activities of the cell and contains the genetic information

Vacuole

Isolates/stores waste products(water, dissolved minerals)

Ribosomes

Produce/synthesise proteins

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Mainly edits and moves proteins but also produces some proteins

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Produces substances that are needed by the cell: lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes and steroids

Nuclear Membrane

Separate the nucleus and its contents from the rest of the cell

Centrioles

Organelles involved in cell division; only found in animal cells

Cytoplasm

Filler material of the cell; holds the other organelle in place and protects them from damage

Flagella

Tail-like hair that can help with cell movement

Chloroplast

Food for plants is made here through photosynthesis; only in plant cells

Cell membrane

Controls entry in and out of the cell

Cell wall

Shapes and supports a plant cell, a cell wall in the middle of the cell is created when a plant cell divides; only found in plant cells

Mitochondria

Powerhouse of the cell; produces the energy needed to sustain the other organelles

Lysosomes

The digestive system of the cell; degrades materials from outside the cell and digests waste; only found in animal cells

Nuclear Pore

Small holes in the nuclear membrane that allow extremely small particles to enter the nucleus

Nucleolus

Produce and assemble ribosomes; does NOT hold chromatin(DNA)
