Cells and Heredity: Cell Organelles & Functions

AB
organellestiny cell structures that carry out specific functions in the cell
cell wallsurrounds cells of plants for protection & shape
cell or plasma membranecontrols what substances come into and out of the cell
nucleusacts as the "brain" of the cell controlling functions
chromatinstrands of genetic material or DNA in the nucleus
cytoplasminside of cell with gel like substance and the organelles
mitochondria"powerhouses" that produces cells energy through aerobic respiration
smooth endoplasmic reticulummaze of passageways that transport proteins and other materials & makes lipids
ribosomesfunction as factories to produce proteins
Golgi bodiespackages materials from the ER
chloroplastsproduces food for cell using the sun's energy only in plants
vacuolestorage area of the cell in plants
lysosomesvesicle containing chemicals that break down large food particles and wastes
nucleolusmakes the ribosomes
rough endoplasmic reticulumpassageway for transportation in cell with ribosomes attached to outside
transport vesiclecarries the materials packaged by the golgi bodies to different parts of the cells
nuclear membraneprotects nucleus and controls what goes in and out
flagellawhiplike structure for movement
cilliahairlike structures around cell for movement
chromosomes2 pair, one from each parent, carries the genes
