|
Nucleus |
Largest organelle that contains DNA. Controls all cell activity, regulates transcription of genes, involved in directing protein synthesis |
|
|
|
Nucleolus |
Formation of ribosomes |
What is the function? |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Site of aerobic respiration, making ATP molecules that provide energy for the cell |
|
|
|
Chloroplasts |
Contains the pigment chlorophyll. Site of protein synthesis, usually in the cells of the leave of a plant |
|
|
|
Vacuole/vesicles |
Has multiple different functions depending on the cell type: •storage of food and nutrients •support in plant cells •transport and export of substances in and out of the cell by endocytosis and exocytosis |
|
|
|
Golgi Body |
A stack of flattened membrane-bound sacks that are not linked to each other. The function involves processing and packaging molecules into vesicles for movement out of the cell by exocytosis |
|
|
|
Rough ER |
Ribosomes attaches to the surface. Function is involved in Intra-cellular transport. Site of protein synthesis by ribosomes |
|
|
|
Smooth ER |
No ribosomes. Synthesis of lipids and cholesterol. Breaks down toxins |
|
|
|
Ribosomes |
Made up of proteins and rRNA. Function is to build proteins- site of translation |
|
|
|
Lysosome |
Breakdown inside cells of non-functional organelles, other cell debris and material taken into the cell by endocytosis e.g. by white blood cells- they are able to break down materials |
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
Internal framework inside a cell. Function is to support and move organelles inside the cell, assemble the spindle prior to mitotic ivision and in animals cells help maintain shape. |
|
|
|
Centriole |
Involved in cell division and formation of cilia and flagella |
|
