Cell Organelle Functions

AB
Cell membraneouter boundary controls what goes in and out of the cell
Cytoplasmcolloidal suspension fluid that contains the organelles
Ribosomesorganelle where proteins are made
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulummodifies and transport proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulummakes lipids
Golgi apparatuspackages and distributes
Mitochondriafunction in cellular respiration to produce energy for the cell
Lysosomescontains digestive enzymes that digest food particles and get ride of waste
Microtubuleshollow tubes that help shape and support the cell also function in movement
Microfilamentssolid filaments function in movement
Cytoskeletoncombination of microtubules and microfilaments forms the framework of the cell
Nuclear envelopea double membrane that controls what goes in and out of nucleus
Nucleuscontain genetic material
Chromatinfine strands of DNA and proteins not visible with microscope
Chromosomescoiled condensed strands of chromatin that are visible in a microscope
Nucleolusstructure in the nucleus that functions in the synthesis of all RNA molecules
Cell wallfound in plants and bacteria function in protection and support
Vacuolessingle large fluid filled sac that function in storage in plant cells
Vesiclessmall storage sacs for food liquid or waste found in animal cells
Plastidsa fluid filled sacs that function in the storage of pigments
Chloroplastscontain a green pigment called chlorophyll found in plants and some bacteria
Chlorophyllcaptures sunlight to begin the process of photosynthesis
Chromoplastsa plastids that synthesize and store pigments.
Leucoplastsa plastid that store food such as starches
Centriolesfound only in animal cells function in cell reproduction
Nuclear Poreopenings in the nuclear membrane
