Cells & Their Functions:
Nucleus- selectively permeable to control movement in or out of the cell
Nucleolus- instrutions in DNA are copied here, works with ribosomes in the synthesis of protein
Cytoplasm- contains dissolved nutrients, helps dissolve waste products, responsible for movement, gives cell its shape
Mitochondria- the cell's main energy source (ATP)
Chloroplast- carries out the process of photosynthesis, contains chlorophyll which makes it green
Ribosome- assemble amino acids into proteins
Rough ER- helps transport proteins
Smooth ER- makes lipids, breaks down toxic substances
Golgi- serves as the packaging & distribution center of the cell
Vacuole- stores water and may contain many substances, when full the cell becomes rigid which causes the plant to stand upright
Cell Membrane- closes cell, separates the cell interior from outside surroundings
Cell Wall- surrounds cell membrane and provides structure & support
Lysosome- contains the cell's digestive enzymes which get rid of macromolecules & old cell organelles
