Organelles Function 1
Controls the movement of materials into and out of
the cell.
Cell Membrane
Provides support and structure for a plant cell, which in turn creates rigidity in plants.
Cell Wall
Is a thin, flexible organelle that is wrapped around the cell.
Cell Membrane
Is a rigid casing that surrounds plant cells.
Cell Wall
Known as the "powerhouse of the cell".
Mitochondria
The control centre of the cell.
Nucleus
Is a series of folded membranes that make canals through cytoplasm
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Bean-shaped organelle that produces energy (ATP) for the cell.
Mitochondria
Storage spaces within the cell. They store excess food,
waste, or any other material, until the cell has need for it or gets rid of it.
Vacuoles
Allows materials to safely move around the cell. It also provides padding to the organelles, protecting
them.
Cytoplasm
Are tiny circular organelles that can be found free floating in the cytoplasm, or attached to the sides of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Ribosomes
A jellylike material that completely fills the space within the cell membrane.
Cytoplasm
Processes and packages proteins and lipid (fat) molecules.
Golgi Apparatus
Location in which photosynthesis happens.
Chloroplast
It is large, in comparison to the other organelles, and is often the most easily seen.
Nucleus
Is a sacklike organelle.
Vacuoles
Where proteins and lipids (fats) are made and transported in the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cleans the cytoplasm by absorbing unwanted materials, and breaking them down using the enzymes contained within its membrane.
Lysosome
Found only in plant cells and some unicellular
organisms, are small oval shaped organelles.
Chloroplasts
Small sacs filled with enzymes that break down waste.
