Describe the function of each organelle.Nucleus
The nucleus stores the cell’s DNA and controls the cell’s activities.
Ribosome
Ribosomes make proteins.
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum makes, processes, and transports proteins and lipids throughout the cell.
Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials for transport.

F
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

Ribosome
Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell, where they translate genetic instructions into amino acid chains.
Describe the function of each organelle.Nucleus
The nucleus serves as the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic material (DNA). It directs all cellular activities, including growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
Describe the function of each organelle.Vacuoles
Vacuoles are organelles that store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. In plant cells, they also provide structural support.
Which of the following did you remember?
Describe the function of each organelle.Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell, supports the organelles, and is the site of many chemical reactions.
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.
