Cell Organelles

Front

Lysosome

Back

A place where old proteins and other molecules are broken down into monomers.

Front

Nucleus

Back

Found only in a eukaryotic cell. Where the DNA is housed.

Front

Ribosome

Back

Made of RNA and is the place where proteins are synthesized.

Front

Chloroplast

Back

Found only in a eukaryotic cell and where photosynthesis takes place

Front

Mitochondria

Back

Where cell respiration (making of ATP from glucose) takes place in all eukaryotic cells, including plants!

Front

Golgi apparatus

Back

Where vesicles deliver basic proteins to become functional proteins

Front

Vesicles

Back

Think of bubbles delivering molecules inside the cell and to and from the cell membrane.

Front

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Back

Makes lipids such as cholesterol and breaks down certain toxins.

Front

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Back

Lots of ribosomes are located here for making proteins. It connects the nucleus to the Golgi apparatus.

Front

Vacuole

Back

Stores water in plants and food in certain protists
