Cell Organelles

And their definitions and pretty pictures too.

Mr. Snider SOCES

Cell Membrane

• Protects cell• Controls what goes in

and out• Semi-permeable

membrane

DNA

• Genetic information• Sections control what

proteins to make• 2 strands• Deoxyribonucleic acid

DNA

RNA

• Carries messages• Single strand• Ribonucleic Acid

RNA

Ribosome

• Makes Proteins• Free in cell or

attached to Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Cytoplasm

• Support, structure• Stores raw material• Some chemical

reactions• Separates organelles

Cell Wall

• Protection, support outside cell

• Not found in all organisms

Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Passageway through cell

• Rough – w/Ribosomes finish protein

• Smooth – makes lipids

Golgi Body

• Package and ship protein out of cell

Nucleus

• Contains DNA• Controls cell

Nucleolus

• Makes ribosomes

Mitochondria

• Turns sugar into ATP

Chloroplast• Turns sunlight into

sugar• Only found in plants*

Vacuole

• Holds material

Lysosome

• Breaks down/digests materials

• Found in Animal cells

Cytoskeleton

• Structure, support, movement

CytoskeletonCytoskeleton

Centriole• Cell reproduction –

Mitosis, Meiosis• Only in Animal cells
