  • Function of the plasma membrane
    The plasma membrane selectively controls what enters and leaves the cell.
  • Role of the nucleus
    The nucleus stores DNA, which contains the cell’s instructions.
  • Purpose of the nucleolus
    The nucleolus makes the pieces used to build ribosomes.
  • Function of ribosomes
    Ribosomes link amino acids together to make proteins.
  • Role of rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER)
    Rough ER folds and transports proteins and appears rough due to attached ribosomes.
  • Function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER)
    Smooth ER makes lipids and helps detoxify harmful chemicals.
  • Role of the Golgi apparatus
    The Golgi apparatus changes, sorts, labels, packages, and ships proteins and lipids.
  • Function of mitochondria
    Mitochondria release usable energy as ATP from food molecules.
  • Role of lysosomes
    Lysosomes use digestive enzymes to break down waste or old cell parts.
  • Purpose of vacuoles
    Vacuoles store water, nutrients, or wastes.
  • Function of the cytoskeleton
    The cytoskeleton consists of protein fibers that help with cell shape, movement, and internal transport.
