  • Ribosomes


    Function: Protein Synthesis

  • Centrioles


    Function: Organize cell division, build cilia and flagella, structure cell skeleton.

  • Lysosomes


    Function: Digestive system and disposes foreign materials and damaged organelles.

  • Peroxisomes


    Function: Lipid and Carbohydrate Metabolism, Detoxification.

  • Mitochondria


    Function: Site of Cellular Respiration: honest chemical energy from food, Production of ATP.

  • Rough ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)


    Function: Package proteins.

  • Smooth ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)


    Function: Carbohydrate Metabolism, Lipid Synthesis, Detoxification.

  • Chloroplast


    Function: Green pigment called "Chlorophyll", conducts photosynthesis, converts solar energy into chemical energy.

  • Vacuole


    Function: Storage, Digestion, Protection, Growth.

    Contractile vacuole pumps out excess water out of cell.

  • Cell Wall


    Function: Protection, Structure, Water Balance.

  • Nucleus


    Function: Store and protect the cells DNA.

  • Plasma Membrane


    Function: Selective (picky) barrier that separates the contents of the cell from outside of the cell.

  • Cytoplasm


    Function: 'Stuff' between the plasma membrane and the nucleus.

  • Nucleolus


    Function: Synthesizes Ribosomes.

  • Golgi Apparatus


    Function: Center for manufacturing, warehousing, sorting and shipping.

  • Microtubules (Type of Cytoskeleton)


    Function: Without them the shape would disintegrate.

  • Intermediate Filaments (Type of Cytoskeleton)


    Function: Walls of the cell.

  • Microfilaments (Type of Cytoskeleton)


    Function: Most famous in muscle cells.

  • Plastids


    Function: Store unique compounds.

  • Chromoplasts


    Function: Produce color.

  • Leucoplasts


    Function: Store materials for the plant.

  • Cholorplasts


    Function: Stores green pigment, Site of Photosynthesis, converts solar energy to chemical energy.
