Organelles 

Short descriptions 

• Golgi apparatus - secretes hormones

• Rough ER - produces proteins 

• Nucleus - controls cell

• Mitochondria - ATP synthesis 

• Plasma membrane - the outermost layer of animal cells

• Ribosome - Made of RNA makes proteins

• Smooth ER -  detoxification

• Centrioles: helps with cell division

• Lysosomes - Cellular autophagy 

• Peroxisome - catalase enzymes involved in hydrogen peroxide 

• Chloroplast - photosynthesis 

• Vacuole -largest organelle in plant cells in autophagy

• Cell wall - protection for plant cells 

• Nucleolus - synthesis of ribosomal subunit

List and describe the four biomolecules. 

• Protein -  An organic macromolecule made of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds

• Carbohydrate - A molecule consisting of Carbon Hydrogen and oxygen that is a source of short term energy

• Lipids - An organic macromolecule that is used for long term energy such as fats and oils.

• Nucleic acid -  An organic polymer consisting of multiple nucleotide monomers. Is the blueprint for proteins (DNA/RNA)

Name the monomer and polymer for each biomolecule. 

MONOMER POLYMER

• Protein - Amino acids are the monomers while polypeptides are the polymer. 

• Carbohydrates - Monosaccharides(glucose,fructose, galactose) are the monomers while disaccharides and polysaccharides are the polymer.                     

• Lipid - glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers while diglycerides and triglycerides are the polymers.

• Nucleotide are the monomers of nucleic acid (which makes nucleic acid the monomer)
