Organelles

Plasma Membrane

protects the cell and allows nutrients and other helpful substances into the cell and lets waste products out.

Nucleus

Where genetic information is held and it’s the cell’s control center

Nucleolus

Produces and assembles the cell’s ribosomes. Ribosomal RNA genes are transcribed in the nucleolus.

Cytoplasm

Holds the components of the cell together and protects them from danger.

Mitochondria

Transform the chemical energy of foods to a form (ATP) that can be used for the cell.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

produces proteins for the cell, transports them around the cell

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

store, transport, and detox things in a cell

synthesizes carbs, lipids, and steroid hormones

detoxifies toxins and drugs and stores it for later

ribosome

synthesizes protiens in a cell

golgi apparatus (golgi body)

transporting, odifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations

cytoskelotin

helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization

provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division (creation of new cells) and movement

Lysosome

helps cells in digestion and breaking down waste

contains proteins and enzymes within a membrane

transport vesicle

help most materials such as proteins and other molecules from one place in the cell to another

flagella

helps to move an organism from one place to another

detect temperature and pH changes

Cilia

move the cell and move fluids past the cell

centrioles

arrange chromosomes during mitosis

large central vacole

stores water

maintains its cell turgor pressure

small vacuole

sequesters waste products

hold food/nutrients

chroloplasts

during photosynthesis processes which oxygen releases

make sugar/glucose

make active compounds

cell wall

provides support and structure to the cell

surrounds the cell membrane

protects the cells from the outside environment

what organelles are found only in plant cells

large central vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall

what organelles are found only in animal cells

flagella, cilia, centrioles, small vacuole

what type of shape do plant cells have

geometric shape

what type of shape do animal cells have

irregular shape
