Animal and Plant Cell Organelles

Cytoplasm

• maintains homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell

• suspends the organelles and provides an environment for chemical reactions within the cell

• makes proteins

• provides structure for cells and movement of organelles

Ribosome

• maintains homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell

• suspends the organelles and provides an environment for chemical reactions within the cell

• makes proteins

• provides structure for cells and movement of organelles

Nucleus

• stores genetic information (DNA)

• makes and transports proteins

• makes lipids and membranes (also detoxifies and stores calcium)

• modifies, sorts, and ships proteins

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

• stores genetic information (DNA)

• makes and transports proteins

• makes lipids and membranes (also detoxifies and stores calcium)

• modifies, sorts, and ships proteins

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• stores genetic information (DNA)

• makes and transports proteins

• makes lipids and membranes (also detoxifies and stores calcium)

• modifies, sorts, and ships proteins

Golgi Bodies

• stores genetic information (DNA)

• makes and transports proteins

• makes lipids and membranes (also detoxifies and stores calcium)

• modifies, sorts, and ships proteins

Mitochondria

• creates energy (ATP) from food; site of cellular respiration

• stores food, water, or wastes with the cell; plant cells have a special vacuole

• uses enzymes to digest bacteria, viruses, and old organelles (old cell parts are recycled)

• create special structures called spindle fibers that are used in cell division
