CELLS: Cell Organelles 2

"Small organs" of the cell that carry out specific functions

• organelles
• organs
• tissues
• organisms

"Brain" of the cell, control center; Contains DNA (genetic material)

• nucleus
• nucleolus
• endoplasmic reticulum
• golgi apparatus

"Powerhouse" or "Energy producer"; makes ATP through cell respiration

• ribosome
• vesicle
• mitochondria
• vacuole

"Mail men," small membrane bound sacs that transport materials around cell and to cell membrane

• vesicles
• endoplasmic reticulum
• golgi apparatus
• lipid bilayer

"warehouse," stores food, water, waste; larger in plant cells

• chloroplasts
• vacoules
• vesicles
• cytoplasm

Garbage men of the cell. Enzyme vesicle.Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules; digests old cell parts.

• vesicles
• lysosomes
• mirochondria
• golgi bodies

Assembles amino acids into proteins.

• ribosomes
• nucleolus
• endoplasmic reticulum
• vesicles

Factory floor for the cell, place where material is made, 2 types: Rough - creates proteins, Smooth - creates lipids

• endoplasmic reticulum
• golgi apparatus
• cytoplasm
• protoplasm

"Shipping department", Processes proteins made by the cell and determines where they go.

• endoplasmic reticulum
• golgi apparatus
• cytoplasm
• protoplasm

Made of protein microtubules and microfilaments. Used in moving material in the cell, and supporting/positioning organelles within the cell.

• nuclear membrane
• cytoskeleton
• cell membrane
• golgi bodies
