Cell Organelles - (copy)

Students can test their knowledge of the functions of various cell organelles in a eukaryotic cell.

AB
nucleusControl center of the cell; stores chromosomes
nucleolusstores RNA and manufactures ribosomes within the nucleus
chromatinStores genetic information; makes up chromosomes
mitochondriaThe sites of cellular respiration
ribosomesWhere proteins are made
rough endoplasmic reticulumtransports proteins (polypeptides) through the cell to the Golgi complex
Golgi complexProcess, packages, and delivers proteins out of the cell
lysosomeContains enzymes to digest almost everything in the cell
cell membraneControls what moves in and out of the cell
vacuoleStores wastes, water, food; creates turgor in plant cells
centriolesMicrotubule organizers that help to form the spindle for cell division
smooth endoplasmic reticulumTransports and stores lipids and calcium ions
cell wallAdds support and protection to plant cells and most bacteria
chloroplastsWhere photosynthesis occurs to make food for plants
cytoskeletonInternal framework that gives shape to cells and supports the organelles
cristaeInner membranes of mitochondria that increase surface area for greater ATP production
turgorInternal water pressure in central vacuole; gives plants rigidity
ciliaHairlike extensions that enable some cells to move
flagellumLong whiplike extension that enables some cells to move
cytosolThe material inside the cell around the nucleus
peroxisomesContain enzymes to neutralize free radicals; break down fatty acids
chromoplastsStore pigments other than chlorophyll in plant cells
