Function And Description Of Cell Organelles

Front 1

Chloroplast

Back 1

D: The food producers for plant cells
F: Plastid containing green pigment, chlorophyll. Involved in absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis

Front 2

Nucleolus

Back 2

D:
F: Dark body in the centre of the nucleus where ribosomes are made.

Front 3

Cell Wall

Back 3

D: Cellulose molecules assembled to form layers of microfibrils
F: A cellulose structure present in plants only; maintains cell structure and protects cell

Front 4

Ribosomes

Back 4

D: Protein builders and synthesisers,
F: Structures which produce proteins and assemble them into amino acids

Front 5

Endoplasmic reticulum

Back 5

D:
F: Network of membranes connecting the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane. Transports materials and acts as a surface for cellular reactions

Front 6

Mitochondria

Back 6

D:
F: Involved in cellular respiration. The inner membrane is folded to provide a large surface area for reactions

Front 7

Lysosome

Back 7

D:
F: Vesicle containing enzymes that break down proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.

Front 8

Nucleus

Back 8

D: Control centre of the cell
F: Spherical body surrounded by a double membrane that contains the cell's DNA.

Front 9

Cell membrane

Back 9

D: Surrounds cell and made os phospholipids
F: Gives shape, controls movement of substances in and out as a selectively permeable membrane.

Front 10

Vacuole

Back 10

D: Membrane-bound compartments containing water and dissolved solutes to help support the cell.
F: Stores water and dissolved ions

Front 11

Golgi Body

Back 11

D:
F: Storage, packaging and despatching are for molecules made in the cell

Front 12

Plastids

Back 12

D: Double membrane
F: Stores food or pigments, eg. Chloroplast

Front 13

Cell Wall

Back 13

D: External cellulose
F: Additional support.

Front 14

Cytoplasm

Back 14

D: Fluid membrane
F: Where metabolic processes occur
