Function of Organelles Flashcards
What is the function of Mitochondria?
Mitochondria is the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell, it contains the chemical energy to power the cell
What is the function of the Cell membrane?
The cell membrane transfers materials and regulates what enters/exits the cell
What is the function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R)?
The E.R produces proteins for the rest of the cell to function
What is the function of Chloroplast?
The Chloroplast (only in plant cells) produces energy through photosynthesis
What is the function of the Golgi Aparatus (golgi body)?
The golgi body helps to package proteins into vesicles before they are sent to their destination.
What is the function of Lysosomes?
Lysosomes act as the digestive system for the cell - they excrete waste
What is the function of the vacuole?
to Store water and maintain its water balance.
What is the function of Ribosomes?
Ribosomes produce protein for the cell (through protein synthesis)
