Cell OrganellesMaKaila, Brenna, and Zaida
Largest organelle; contains chromosomes; double membrane with nuclear pores; controls cell functions
Nucleus
Where the final and most energy-productive steps of metabolism take place to generate cellular energy (ATP)
Mitochondria
A phospholipids bilayer that controls traffic of materials into and out of cell
Cell Membrane
The fluid-like flowing mixture in which the organelles are found
Cytoplasm
Tiny cellular structures involved in making proteins under the instruction of DNA
Ribosomes
Only in plant cells; organelles containing the pigment chlorophyll; turns sunlight into ATP energy (photosynthesis)
Chloroplast
Location of carbohydrate and lipid synthesis; no ribosomes are found here
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough because it contains ribosomes; makes proteins that are packaged into vesicles and sent outside the cell by exocytosis
Rough ER
Large membrane-bound sac for storage of water, nutrients, waste; found typically as a large organelle only in plants
Vacuole
A small set of microtubules Structure in the cytoplasm that are involved
in cell reproduction NOT found in plant cells
Centrioles
