Cell Organelles “Inside a Cell”
Cell Membrane Semi-permeable (phospholipidbilayer) Allows molecules to pass in and out of cell
Cytoskeleton “Cyto” = cell Provides structure Helps organize cell division
Mitochondrion Powerhouse Generates the cell’s energy (cellular respiration) Has circular DNA
Nucleus Control center Directs the cell’s activities Stores and protects DNA
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Passageway for proteins Where chemical reactions occur Rough and smooth
Golgi Apparatus Packages proteins, tags them, and sends them off A package is a vesicle
Lysosome “Lyso” = break down Contains digestive enzymes Breaks down food and old cell parts “Clean-up crew”
Vacuole Storage - stores nutrients and water Provides pressure Large in plant cells
Chloroplast ‘Chloro” = green Photosynthesis occurs here Converts energy from the sun into sugar
Cell Wall Protection – protects the cell from injury Provides support
Ribosomes Produce proteins Found in cytoplasm or attached to ER (Rough)
Cytoplasm Gel-like fluid Found throughout the cell
Nucleolus Where ribosomes are made
