Organelles

AB
cell membranemade of phospholipid bilayer
cell wallused for support; made of celluose
centrioleorganizing center for cell division in cell; very important for cell division
chloroplasthave chlorophyll own DNA; stacks of flat sacs; makes glucose through photosynthesis
cilium"hairs" made of microtubles
flagellumwhip like made of microtubles
Golgiflattened sacs and vesicles used to package cell production
lysosome(lys = break) specialized vesicle with digestive enzymes
microtubuleused for cytoskeleton (support) and for movement; made of tubulin, a globular protein
mitochondriahas it own DNA; folded inner membrane; used to make ATP from food through respiration (Power House)
nucleolusfound within the nucleus; makes ribosomes
nucleusonly found in eukaryotes; contains DNA "The Brain"
peroxisomespecialized vesicle containing catylase
pilusfound on bacteria; used for movement and for reproduction; exchange of DNA
rough endoplasmic reticulumfolded membrane to increase surface area for chemical reaction transportand has ribosomes
smooth endoplasmic reticulumused to detoxify materials in the cell and synthesize (produce)
vacuolelarge water filled sacs used to maintain turgor pressure within plant cells (turgor -> i.e. lily comes to life or a balloon filled with water)
vesiclesmall liquid "bubble" that transport food, wastes, enzymes etc. within, into and out of the cell
ribosomessight of protein synthesis
