Cell organelles and their functions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
a sausage shaped organelle that produces most of the ATP during respiration - ATP is the universal energy carrier | Mitochondrion |
This organelle houses all the cells genetic material (DNA) and regulates cell's activities | Nucleus |
Modifies proteins that are received from the Rough ER | Golgi Body |
A system of tubules that transport proteins | Rough Endoplasmic reticulum |
Involved in making the lipids for the cell | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Composed of cellulose. Used in both protection and structure. | Cell Wall |
It forms a framework for the movement of organelles around the cytoplasm - most of the organelles are attached to this provides an important structural framework for cell shape. | Cytoskeleton |
Primarily involved in locomotion but it also functions as a sensory organelle, being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell. | Flagella |
The role of these organelles is to breakdown unwanted materials - they contain digestive enzymes | Lysosomes |
These are the site of protein synthesis | Ribosomes |
These organelles form spindles that allow the chromosomes to move and the cell to divide | Centrioles |
These tiny structures make Ribosomes and RNA | Nucleolus |
The site of photosynthesis in plant cells | Chloroplast |
