Cell Organelles and Functions

Match the cell organelle with the correct function.

AB
Cell membraneThin, flexible barrier around the cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Cell wallProvides support and protection for plant cells
ChlorophyllThe green pigment found in plants
ChloroplastsUse the energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food molecules; found in plants
CytoplasmThe area between the nucleus and the cell membrane
Golgi bodiesAttach carbohydrates and lipids to proteins
LysosomesSmall organelles filled with enzymes; break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins from food
MicrotubulesHollow tubes of protein that maintain cell shape
MitochondriaUse energy from food to make high-energy compounds that the cell can use to power growth, development, and movement
NucleolusA small, dense region in the nucleus that makes ribosomes
NucleusControls most cell processes and contain the hereditary information of DNA
RibosomesSmall particles made of RNA; assemble proteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulumInvolved in the synthesis of proteins; has ribosomes attached to its surface
Smooth endoplasmic reticulumContain collections of enzymes that perform tasks such as the synthesis of lipids; does not have ribosomes attached to its surface
VacuoleSaclike structures that store water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
