Cell Organelles Structure and Function

Terms in this set (17)

cell membrane
Regulates what enters and leaves the cell also important for cell to cell communication
Mitochondria (F)
F: Site of cellular respiration: Converts energy stored in glucose into energy stored in ATP
C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
Chloroplasts
Site of photosynthesis:
CO2 + H20 --> C6H12O6 + O2
Cell Wall
Found in plant, bacteria and fungal cells. Not found in animal cells. Protects and supports the cell
Nucleus (N)
N: Centrally located organelle that holds DNA
Nucleolus (M)
M: Found in the nucleus, makes ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum (I)
I: Refines proteins and acts as passage ways throughout the cells
Golgi Apparatus (K)
K: Packages and sorts proteins into vessicles
Vesicle (J)
J: Membrane bound structure for the transport of cell made substances
Ribosome Embedded in Rough E.R. (P)
P: Make proteins
Cytoplasm (E)
E: Holds the Cell organelles
Cell Membrane aka plasma Membrane aka phospholipid bilayer (R)
R: Regulates what enters and leaves the cell also essential for cell to cell communication
Lysosome
Q: Vesicle with digestive enzymes for the breakdown of substances
Animal Cell
No Cell Wall, No chlorophyll, No Large central Vacuole
DNA
Found in the nucleus: Holds the genetic code for life.
mRNA
Made from DNA: transfers the genetic code to the ribosomes for protein production
Vacuole
Large centrally located organelle in plants that stores water and other substances.
