Organelles
by:Carmela Marcellino
Plasma or cell membrane
description/structure: double layer of phospholipids.
Function: keeps pieces inside also allows small molecules to pass freely
Present in both plant and animal cells.
cell walls
description/structure: squared
Function: key part in holding the organelles inside the cell
Present in plant cells.
cytoplasm
description/structure: 'soup' that surrounds the organelles
Function: contains protein to control the cell.
Present in both plant and animal cells
nucleus
description/structure: large dark spot in the cell
Function: stores the DNA
Present in both plant and animal cells
nucleolus
description/structure: circular shaped
Function: change the RNA
Present in both plant and animals
centrioles
description/structure: cylindrical array
Function: reproduces
Present in animals cells.
ribosomes
description/structure: pockets of RNA protein
Function: adds individual amino acids
Present in both plant and animal cells
golgi apparatus
description/structure: stack of large vesicles surrounded by smaller vesicles.
Function: sends protein to the right place
Present in both plant and animal cells
endoplasmic retculum
description/structure: smooth and rough surface shaped like mazes
Function: makes protein and release it in to the body
Present in animal cells
mitochondria
description/structure: bean like shape with lines inside the organelle
Function: makes energy from using sugar and turns it in to oxygen
Present in animal cell
chloroplast
description/structure: green and ovals
Function: turns light into energy
Present in plant cells
lysosomes
description/structure: rough spherical bodies by a single enclosed membrane
Function: contains 3 dozen different hydrolytic enzyme
Present in animal cell
peroxisomes
description/structure: small and round
Function: break down and protein
Present in animal cells
vaculoe
description/structure: membrane bond sac tend to be large
Function: breaks down nutrients, help the plant keep its shape
Present in both plant and animal cells
cytoskeleton
description/structure: like roads or highways
Function: a little piece of the membrane falls off to carry cargo to the cell
Present in in animal cells
