The Cell

Nucleus

Nucleus

Control, process, and hold genetic material

Cytoskeleton

Maintain internal support, allow for proper transport

Ribosomes

Produce protein by following code written in DNA

Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough/smooth)

Move proteins and lipids through the cell

Golgi Apparatus

Carry protein out of cell into correct location

Lysosome

Breakdown & clean up lipids, carbs, proteins, or cellular waste

Cell Membrane

Lipid bilayer that separates the cellular components from the outer environment; controls entry & exit of the cell to maintain homeostasis

Vacuole

Store water, proteins, carbs

Cytoplasm

Gel-like substance that suspends organelle

Mitochondria

Convert chemical energy into compounds more easily used by the cell; site of cellular respiration

Chloroplasts

Convert solar energy obtained from the sun to be food stored in the plant cell; site of photosynthesis

Cell Wall

Support, shape, and protect inner components of the cel
