Cell OrganellesMaKaila, Brenna, and Zaida

Largest organelle; contains chromosomes; double membrane with nuclear pores; controls cell functions

Nucleus

Where the final and most energy-productive steps of metabolism take place to generate cellular energy (ATP)

Mitochondria

A phospholipids bilayer that controls traffic of materials into and out of cell

Cell Membrane

The fluid-like flowing mixture in which the organelles are found

Cytoplasm

Tiny cellular structures involved in making proteins under the instruction of DNA

Ribosomes

Only in plant cells; organelles containing the pigment chlorophyll; turns sunlight into ATP energy (photosynthesis)

Chloroplast

Location of carbohydrate and lipid synthesis; no ribosomes are found here

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Rough because it contains ribosomes; makes proteins that are packaged into vesicles and sent outside the cell by exocytosis

Rough ER

Large membrane-bound sac for storage of water, nutrients, waste; found typically as a large organelle only in plants

Vacuole

A small set of microtubules Structure in the cytoplasm that are involved

in cell reproduction NOT found in plant cells

Centrioles
