Cell organelles Flashcards
(13 cards)
Cell membrane
Squishy. Encloses cell contents. Ministers what comes in and out of the cell. So it chooses what molecules come in.
Organelles
All have different functions. That do jobs to keep the cell alive
Cytoplasm
Jelly like substance that is everywhere in the cell. Protects the cell and gives it it’s shape. It give infrastructure so all of the organelles can do there jobs.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Carries this around the cell. Acts like a highway. Also helps packages proteins.
Ribosome
Floats freely throughout the cytoplasm. They assembles. Proteins. Then those proteins go to the ER
Golgi
Golgi packages proteins. Like the post office. Packages them then sends them out.
Vesicles
They have walls. Then ships them out. Smaller than the vacuole. Moves materials around. Little circles beside the Golgi
Lysosomes
Like a recycling centre. Break down large particles. And old and worn out organelles.
Nucleus
The leader. Controls all activity in cell. Like a brain. Stores cells DNA. Tells organelles how to do there jobs and her to do them.
Mitochondrion
Power house. Produces energy. Has inner and outer membrane.
Chloroplast (plants only)
Traps energy away from the sun. May be greenish color.
Vacuole
Temporarily stores water, and other substances. Larger in plants
Cell wall
Protects cell. Rigid, tough and surrounds the cell.
