Bio cell organelles (2)

This is the control center of the cell.

Nucleus

This is made of DNA and is the storage area for all genetic information.

Chromosome

This is the site of protein synthesis in a cell.

Ribosome

This porous structure surrounds the nucleus, keeping it intact.

Nuclear Membrane

This internal membrane system is so extensive that it accounts for more than half the total membrane in a cell.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum / Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

When newly formed proteins leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum, they are transported to this organelle, where the proteins are sorted and packaged.

Golgi apparatus

This part of the cell manufactures the ribosomal subunits.

Nucleolus

This organelle is surrounded by a very thick outer membrane to protect the rest of the cell from its strong enzymes.

Lysosome

The portion of the cell that exists outside of the nucleus.

Cytoplasm

The part of the cell that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell Membrane

The part of the cell where chromosomes would be found.

Nucleus

This organelle is an intracellular highway composed of membranous sacs and tubules called cisternae.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum / Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

This organelle contains strong digestive enzymes to break down proteins, carbohydrates and lipids into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell.

Lysosome

These are the most numerous of the cell’s organelles.

Ribosome

This serves as the “powerhouse” of the cell by breaking down organic compounds and storing their energy in molecules of ATP.

Mitochondria

The place where lipids are manufactured.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

This structure contains the instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.

Chromosome

This organelle consists of two types of fibers called microfilaments and microtubules.

Cytoskeleton

Which 2 organelles would never be found in a plant cell?

Centriole / Lysosome

Which three organelles are surrounded by a double membrane?

Mitochondria / Chloroplast / Nucleolus

Newly made proteins are inserted into spaces of this organelle where they are modified and shaped into functioning proteins.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

This organelle puts the “finishing touches” on proteins before they are shipped off to their final destinations.

Golgi apparatus

This large structure in a plant cell is filled with water creating turgor pressure.

Central Vacuole

This is the site of photosynthesis in a plant cell.

Chloroplast

These may be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Ribosome

This organelle contains internal folds of membrane called cristae.

Mitochondria

This part of the cell is involved with cell movement, cell shape, and the separation of chromosomes during cell division.

Cytoskeleton

This organelle has the unique ability to absorb the energy from the sun and convert it into a molecule of glucose.

Chloroplast

This serves as a storage area inside an animal cell.

Vacuole

This organelle is composed of tough, stringy cellulose fibers.

Cell Wall

The type of endoplasmic reticulum to which ribosomes are attached.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

This organelle is often found near the cell membrane. It consists of a stack of flattened sacs.

Golgi apparatus

This organelle helps to “clean up” or destroy any debris that might build up inside the cell.

Lysosome

This organelle has an internal membrane system called thylakoids.

Chloroplast

This is the site of cellular respiration.

Mitochondria

This serves as an internal framework and support system to give shape and organization to a cell.

Cytoskeleton

What two structures give the plant the strength and support needed to stand upright?

Cell Wall / Central Vacuole

This organelle contains the green pigment chlorophyll.

Chloroplast

This organelle gives fruits and flowers their color.

Chloroplast

Which of the above organelles would be found in both plant cells and in animal cells?

Cell Membrane / Chromosome / Cytoplasm / Cytoskeleton / Golgi apparatus / Mitochondria / Nuclear Membrane / Nucleolus / Nucleus / Ribosome / Rough endoplasmic reticulum / Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
