Flashcard - Cell Organelles

Front

Small grain-shaped organelles that produce proteins for the cell

Back

Ribosomes

Front

Rigid layer that surrounds the cell of plants and some other organisms such as fungi

Back

Cell Wall

Front

Large oval structure that acts as the control center of the cell, directing all of the cells’ activities

Back

Nucleus

Front

Thick, clear, gel-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

Rod-shaped organelles that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions

Back

Mitochondria

Front

An organelle that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another

Back

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Front

Organelle in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell

Back

Golgi Apparatus

Front

Sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other materials.

Back

Vacuole

Front

Organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells can use in making food

Back

Chloroplast

Front

Cell organelle which contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones that can be used by the rest of the cell

Back

Lysosome
