Final Organelle Facts
100
Convert chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. Has 2 membranes (internal and external), Reproduces on its own, and had genetic information. What organelle is this?
Mitochondria
100
A large membrane-enclosed structure that contains the cell's genetic material. Its the "brain" of the cell. What organelle is this?
Nucleus
100
Describe the cell membrane's FUNTION, STRUCTURE, and LOCATION.
Separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. Located on the outside of the cell. Made of lipids with embedded proteins.
100
Describe the chloroplast's LOCATION, FUNCTION, and STRUCTURE.
Found only in plant cells. Captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis. They have 2 membranes, which contain green pigment (what makes plants green).
100
Holds all organelles together. Portion of the cell outside of the nucleus. Gel-like substance What organelle is this?
Cytoplasm
200
RNA bound to protein. Synthesizes protein. Can be found floating around the cell or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. What organelle is this?
Ribosomes
200
Describe the cell wall's STRUCTURE, LOCATION, and FUNCTION
Flexible, rigid layer made of polysaccharides. Found outside of the cell membrane. Provides the cell with structural support and protection.
200
Saclike structure used for storage. They store water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. In plants, it's the biggest organelle. It stores water, and the pressure of the water permits plants to support heavy structures such as leaves. What organelle is this?
Vacuole
200
A network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape. What organelle is this?
Cytoskeleton
200
Describe the tough endoplasmic reticulum's STRUCTURE, LOCATION, and FUNCTION.
An internal membrane system (ribosomes are attached to it) where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled along with proteins and other materials that are exported form the cell. Found near the nucleus.
300
Small organelles filled with enzymes that break down waste material in the cell. Known as the "cleanup crew". Found floating in the cytoplasm. What organelle is this?
Lysosomes
300
Describe the chromosome's STRUCTURE, FUNCTION, and LOCATION.
Condensed form of chromatin during cell division. Contains genetic information. Found inside the nucleus.
300
Membrane system without ribosomes attached. Contains enzymes for special tasks such as the detoxification of drugs. Found near thr nucleus and the rough endoplasmic reticulum. What organelle is this?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
300
Describe the STRUCTURE, FUNCTION, and LOCATION of the nuclear envelope.
Two membranes that surround the nucleus. They have pores to let materials and information come in and out of the nucleus easily.
300
The small dense region in the nucleus. Here is where the assembly of ribosomes begins.
Nucleolous
400
The granular material in the nucleus that contains genetic information. Made of DNA bound to protein.
Chromatin
400
Describe the STRUCTURE, FUNCTION, and LOCATION of centrioles.
Cylindrical shaped organelle that helps organize cell division (produces the mitotic spindle). Located near the nucleus.
400
Stacks of apposed membranes that modify, sort, and package proteins. Proteins produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum move on to this organelle. What organelle is this?
Golgi Apparatus
400
Name the three types of cells that have a cell wall and the polysaccharide that makes up the cell walls.
Prokaryotic cells: Peptidoglycan; Plant Cells: cellulose; Fungi Cells: Chitin
400
BONUS:What are the two types of bacteria?
Archaea and Eubacteria
500
This organelle helps the body get rid of toxins.
What is the smooth ER?
500
These two organelles have their own DNA.
What are chloroplasts and mitochondria?
500
Name the organelle involved in programmed cell death and name this process.
What are lysosomes that contribute to apoptosis.
500
These two cell structures allow for movements of particles on cell surface or allow the entire cell to move.
What are cilia and flagella?
500
Name the cell structures composed of the protein tubulin and identify the arrangement of theprotein tubulin inside of each.
What are centrioles 9+3 arrangement and what are cilia and flagella 9+2 arrangement?
