Cell Parts and Functions

This organelle makes proteins and does peptide synthesis.

• rough ER

• ribosome

• lysosome

• golgi apparatus

The unraveled, readable form of DNA.

• chromatin

• nucleolus

• chromosome

• nucleus

Regulates what goes in and out of the nucleus.

• chromatin

• nuclear pores

• nuclear membrane

• nucleolus

This organelle has ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis and sorting.

• rough ER

• smooth ER

• lysosome

• peroxisome

This organelle cleans up cellular debris by breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids.

• peroxisomes

• centrioles

• lysosomes

• mitochondria

This organelle produces energy (ATP!) through oxidative phosphorylation.

• ribosome

• golgi apparatus

• mitochondria

• nucleus

This organelle is responsible for muscle contraction, cell movement, animal cell division, and intercellular cargo movement.

• ribosomes

• actin filament

• peroxisomes

• microtubules

This organelle provides the cell with mechanical strength and anchorage of cell and nuclear membranes.

• centrioles

• microtubules

• lysosomes

• intermediate filaments

This organelle helps the cell divide.

• centrioles

• chromatin

• chromosomes

• cytoplasm

This part of the cell helps regulate the transport of material in and out of the cell.

• plasma membrane

• nucleus

• nuclear membrane

• cytoplasm
