Organelle Functions

Practice matching organelles to their functions!

AB
Releases energy from food through cell respirationMitochondria
Large and filled with water and dissolved minerals in plantsCentral vacuole
Holds DNA and controls gene activity (and therefore cell activity)nucleus
Condensed DNA in an X or rod shape (forms when cell is dividing)Chromosome
Uncondensed DNAChromatin
Makes ProteinsRibosome
Makes RibosomesNucleolus
Surrounds the Nucleus, letting RNA out through poresNuclear Membrane
Controls what enters and leaves cellCell membrane
Membrane where ribosomes attach-- transports proteins to Golgi BodyRough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Supports and protects plant and bacterial cellsCell wall
Made of Microtubules and Microfilaments- helps cell keep shapeCytoskeleton
Food is made for plant cells here through photosynthesischloroplast
Pigment within a chloroplast that absorbs light for photosynthesischlorophyll
Breaks down food molecules and wastes/old organelles in an animal celllysosome
Made of microtubules--Helps animal cells to divideCentrioles
Gel-like fluid made mostly of water which fills cell and supports organelles and chemical reactionscytosol
Synthesizes and stores lipidsSmooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Many Short little hairs which help some cells moveCilia
Longer, single or few hairs which help cells to moveFlagella
Cell WITHOUT a nucleus or membrane Bound organelles-includes BacteriaProkaryotic Cell
Cell WITH a nucleus and membrane bound organelles- Includes Animals, plants, fungi, and protistsEukaryotic Cell
small membrane-bound sac with proteins traveling from ER to Golgi or Golgi out of cellvesicle
