Cell Organelles and Their Functions

The Animal Cell

The Plant Cell

The Cell Membrane • Functioncontrols the movement of materials into and out of the cell

The cytoplasm • Cytoplasm fills cell from the nucleus to the cell membrane; includes fluid, cytoskeleton, and all organelles (except nucleus)

The endoplasmic reticulum • A pathway for the transport of materials throughou t the cell; rough and smooth

The nucleus • Holds genetic material; controls cell functions

Nucleolus • Round body within the nucleus; where ribosome s are made.

Ribosomes • They build protein; made of RNA and protein. Some are free, some attached to ER.

Lysosomes • Contain digestive enzymes that break down large molecules, old cells, worn-out organelles

Mitochondria • The powerhouse of the cell; transfers energy from organic molecules to ATP

Golgi Apparatus • Packages and secretes products of the cell.

Centrioles (animal cells) • Involved in cell division in animal cells

Vacuoles • Store food, waste, and water and dissolved materials. Animal cell vacuoles form and reform over and over again.

Cell Wall • Gives a plant cell its shape; provides structure; not found in animal cells

Cilia • Short hairlike structures that enable a single-celled organism to move; also line respiratory tract

Flagella • Long, hairlike structures used for movement

Chloroplast • Contains chlorophyll to capture light for photosynthesi s; site of photosynthesi s

Chromosomes • Rodshaped bodies found in the nucleus; composed of DNA

Microtubule • Cylinders that support and give the cell shape
