Organelle Functions

• The Nucleus contains and protects Genetic Material (DNA)
• DNA/Chromosomes contain information for creating proteins
• Ribosomes create proteins
• The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transports and finishes proteins and other biological molecules
• Lysosomes help to get rid of a cells waste
• The mitochondria produces energy for the cell
• The Golgi Apparatus packs and transports goods
• The cytoplasm is the space for work to be done
• The vacuole functions as the warehouse; storing molecules
• The pores/gated channels function as points of entry/exit for materials
• The Cell membrane functions like a security fence; controlling what goes in and out
• The vesicles function is to transport packaged proteins and lipids
