Identify the organelles in the cell to the right.A B C D E F
Describe the function of each organelle.Nucleus
The nucleus stores the cell’s DNA and controls the cell’s activities.
Describe the function of each organelle.Vacuoles
Store water, nutrients, and waste; in plant cells, they help maintain turgor pressure.
Describe the function of each organelle.Cytoplasm
The jellylike substance that fills the cell, supports the organelles, and is the site of many chemical reactions.
Which of the following did you remember?The nucleus directs cell activity.Ribosomes produce proteins for the cell. These proteins are then moved through the cell by the endoplasmic reticulum.The Golgi apparatus packages and distributes proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum.Vacuoles store water, waste products, food, etc.Lysosomes break down waste material and debris.Mitochondria break down sugar molecules to supply energy. Similarly, chloroplasts capture the energy from sunlight and convert it
B
Ribosome
Ribosomes make proteins.
Lysosomes
Break down cellular waste, worn-out organelles, and other materials using digestive enzymes.
Chloroplasts
Organelles that use sunlight to make food for the plant through photosynthesis.
C
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum makes, processes, and transports proteins and lipids throughout the cell.
Mitochondrion
Produces usable energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
Cell wall
A rigid outer layer that supports, protects, and gives shape to the cell.
