Organelle Functions Flashcards
Cell Wall Functions
Prevents water loss and cell expansion, and provides structural support
Cell Membrane Functions
Regulates the transports of materials
Chloroplasts Functions
Photosynthesis
Mitochondria Functions
Glycolysis and production of ATP (Oxidative Phosphoration)
Vacuoles Functions
Storage, water disposal, stabilizes water level
Golgi Apparatus Functions
Transporting, sorting, modification of protein and lipids
Endoplasmic Reticulum Functions
Calcium storage, protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and “road” of the cell
Lysosomes Functions
Digest components, degrade material from outside of the cell, maintains PH
Ribosomes Functions
Protein Synthesis
Cytoplasm Functions
Holds components of the cell, gives shape to the cell, regulates the cells surroundings, protein synthesis, meiosis/mitosis, and glycolysis
Nucleus Functions
Repository of genetic info, controls the cell, RNA processing, and DNA replication/transcription
