Cell Organelle Review

Cell Wall

• Protects and supports the plant cell (Only in plants & some bacteria)

• Regulates what enters and leaves the cell

• Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. The recycling center of the cell.

• ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) that lacks ribosomes

Cell Membrane

• Control center of the cell

• Regulates what enters and exits the cell

• Carries materials from one part of the cell to the other

• Makes proteins

Nucleus

• Captures energy from the sun to produce food for the plant cell

• Stores water, food , waste products and other materials for the cell

• Control center of the cell

• Produces energy for the cell. The "power house" of the cell

Cytoplasm

• Regulates what enters and exits the cell

• Carries materials from one part of the cell to another

• makes proteins

• A jelly-like substance that supports and protects cell organelles

Mitochondria

• Produces energy for the cell. The "power house" of the cell

• Carries materials from one part of the cell to another

• Makes proteins

• Protects and supports the plant cell (Only in plants & some bacteria)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Control center of the cell

• Regulates what enters and exits the cell

• Carries materials from one part of the cell to another

• Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. The recycling center of the cell

Ribosomes

• Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. The recycling center of the cell.

• Makes Proteins

• Receives materials from the ER and sends it to other parts of the cell. The "shipping & receiving center" of the cell

• Stores water, food, waste products, and other materials for the cell

Golgi Body (or Apparatus)

• A jelly-like substance that supports and protects the cellular organelles

• Control Center of the cell

• Receives materials from the ER and sends it to other parts of the cell. The "shipping & receiving center" of the cell

• Stores water, food, waste products, and other materials for the cell

Chloroplasts

• A jelly-like substance that supports and protects the cellular organelles

• Makes proteins

• Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. The recycling center of the cell

• Capture energy from the sun to produce food for the plant cell

Vacuole/Vesicle

• Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. The recycling center of the cell

• Protects and supports the plant cell (Only in plants & some bacteria)

• Capture energy from the sun to produce food for the plant cell

• Stores water, food, waste products, and other materials for the cell
