500

Name all organelles found in a plant cell. 

  • Nucleus: The control center storing genetic material (DNA).
  • nuleolus 
  • Mitochondria: Powerhouses that generate ATP energy.
  • Ribosomes: Responsible for protein synthesis.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Network for transport; rough ER handles protein synthesis, smooth ER handles lipid synthesis.
  • Golgi Apparatus/Complex: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
  • Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste.
  • Cytoplasm: Gel-like substance suspending the organelles.
  • Cell Membrane: Controls entry/exit of materials. 
  • cell wall
  • chloroplast
