|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
Synthesizes lipids (phospholipids and steroids); detoxifies liver cells; stores calcium ions in muscle cells (Found in Plants and Animal Cells) |
|
|
|
Central Vacuole |
Stores water, nutrients and waste products; plays a role in intracellular digestion; regulates tugor/water pressure and helps plants stay upright (Found in Plants Cells) |
|
|
|
Food Vacuole |
Small; stores water and nutrients temporarily (Found in Plants and Animal Cells) |

|
|
Secretory/Transport Vesicle |
Package for transporting materials around the cell; transport macromolecules to and from Golgi Apparatus (Found in Plants and Animal Cells) |
|
|
|
Lysosome |
'Intracellular digestion'; contain hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in breaking down waste, old organelles, bacteria and viruses (Found in Animal Cells) |
|
|
|
Centriole |
Fused microtubules; helps to organize cell division (creates spindle fibers used in cell division) (Found in Animal Cells) |
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton (Microfilament, Microtubules, Intermediate Filaments) |
Helps maintain cell shape; help in cell motility (internal movement of cell organelles) (Found in All Cells) |
|
|
|
Mitochondria |
Site of cellular respiration; converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for cell use (ATP) (Found in Plants and Animal Cells) |
|
|
|
Chloroplasts |
Site of photosynthesis; capture energy from the sunlight and converts it into food that contains chemical energy (Found in Plants Cells) |
|
|
|
Cell Wall |
Composed of cellulose; rigid protective barrier that provides and helps maintain cell shape (Found in Plants and Prokaryote Cells) |
|
|
|
Cellular (Plasma) Membrane |
Phospholipid bilayer; flexible protective barrier that regulates what enters and leaves cell |
