Cell Organells

Front 1

Nucleus

Back 1

The "brain of the cell" the nucleus dictates the activities of the organelles within the cell.

Front 2

Nucleolus

Back 2

The Nucleolus is the part of the Nucleus whose major function is to synthesize RNA (ribonucleic acid)

Front 3

Ribosomes

Back 3

Made up of RNA and are the site for production of enzymes and other proteins.

Front 4

Centrioles

Back 4

found in pairs and whose primary function is to facilitate cell division.

Front 5

Mitochondria

Back 5

"power plants" that provide the majority of the energy the body needs on the cellular level.

Front 6

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Back 6

a series of channels set up in the cytoplasm that are formed from folded membranes.

Front 7

Golgi apparatus

Back 7

Receives protein from the endoplasmic reticulum and processes/stores it as a shippable product.

Front 8

lysosomes

Back 8

a vesicle that contains enzymes that break down waste and destroy unwanted bacteria.

Front 9

cytoskeleton

Back 9

network of micro-tubes that provide the cells shape

Front 10

flagella

Back 10

whip like tails that let cells move

Front 11

cilia

Back 11

short microscopic hair-like projections located around the cell. their primary function is to help with movement

Front 12

DNA

Back 12

Deoxyribonucleotic acid
"blueprint for the cell"

Front 13

cytoplasm

Back 13

The "filler" of the cell. what is in-between the rest of the cell organelles.
