Cellular Organelles

Cell Membrane • Surrounds the cell • Controls what goes in and comes out

Cell Wall • Layer of carbohydrates outside the cell membrane • Protects the cell and gives it a rigid shape

Nucleus • Contains DNA • The control center of the cell

Vacuole • Storage • Can store water, food, or other materials

Mitochondria • Energy conversion • Uses sugar to make energy in the form of ATP

Chloroplast • Uses sunlight to make sugar through the process of photosynthesis

Golgi Body • Sorts, packages, and transports proteins

Ribosome • Makes proteins • Found in ALL types of cell

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • Called rough because it has ribosomes • A network of interconnected tubules • Helps the cell make proteins

• • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Called smooth because it has NO ribosomes. A network of interconnected tubules Helps the cell make lipids (fats) Helps detoxify poisons, drugs, and alcohol

Centrosome • Made of two pieces called centrioles. • Helps the cell divide during mitosis.

Lysosome • Removes and breaks down waste • Digests food

Cytoskeleton • Allows the cell to move and change shape. • Made of – Microtubules – Microfilaments
