Cell Organelles

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

AB
nucleusthe control center of the cell (contains DNA; chromosomes) DNA plays a part in the control of the cell
chromosomesgenetic material found in the nucleus
mitochondriawhere energy in the form of ATP is produced (made)
ribosomeswhere proteins are made
endoplasmic reticulumtransport system in the cell (transports lipids and protiens)
golgi apparatus (body)packages up lipids and protiens (that came from the ER)and sends molecules out in vesicles
lysosomespecial type of vesicle that breaks down large molecules and cell parts (contain digestive enzymes)
chloroplastwhere photosynthesis occurs (mainly in plant cells)
cell membranesemi-permeable; it controls what moves in and out of the cell
cell wallprotects and supports plant cells
eukaryotecell that have a nucleus
prokaryotea cell with no nucleus
vacuolestores wastes, water, food (generally in plants)
centriolesassist (help) in division of a nucleus in animal cells (NOT in plants)
cytoskeletonprotien fibers that give support to the shape of a cell (just as your skeleton gives shape to your body)
flagellalong, threadlike organelle(s) that protrudes (comes) from the surface of a cell
cilianumerous (many) short, threadlike organelles that protrude (come) from a cells' surface.
