Organelles
hi
Organelle | Job |
---|---|
Lysosome | These organelles break down the cell's waste products and detoxify poisons |
Cell Wall | give the cell strength and structure |
Cell Membrane | This thin lining controls what molecules enter and leave the cell. |
Nucleus | This key organelle holds the cell's genetic material, and dictates which proteins the cell produces |
Nucleolus | The nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA |
Nuclear Envelope | The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane with multiple pores. The pores regulate the passage of macromolecules like proteins and RNA, but permit free passage of water, ions, ATP and other small molecules |
Golgi Apparatus | puts lipids and proteins in packets (vesicles), and sends them to different parts of the cell |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | often ships proteins to the Golgi Apparatus |
Vacuole | Stores Food And Water |
Mitochondria | Converts Sunlight Into Energy |
Ribosome | Produce Protein |
Chloroplast | Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant |
Cytoplasm | maintains the internal pressure of the cell |
