Cell organelles

Cards (53)

  • Nucleus
    Contains DNA, controls cell functions
  • Eukaryotes?
    In plant and animal cells
  • Prokaryotes?

    No nucleus, DNA floats in cytoplasm
  • Nucleolus
    Makes ribosomes
  • Eukaryotes?
    In plant and animal cells
  • Prokaryotes?
    No nucleolus, ribosomes made in cytoplasm
  • Vacuole
    Animal: small, storage of materials and water
    Plants: large, stores materials and water, provides support
  • Eukaryotes?
    In plant and animal cells
  • Prokaryotes?

    None
  • Vesicles
    Bubble like organelles, made of membrane and transports things around and in and out of the cell
  • Eukaryotes?
    In plant and animal cells
  • Prokaryotes?

    None
  • Lysosomes
    Contains enzymes, Breaks down "trash" and old cell parts
  • Eukaryotes?
    In animal cells
  • Prokaryotes
    None
  • Cytoskeleton
    Maintain cell shape, moves cell parts, helps cell move
  • Eukaryotes?
    In plants and animals
  • Prokaryotes?
    I'm prokaryotes
  • Centrioles
    Organize cell division
  • Eukaryotes?
    Animals only

    Coverts light into food, photosynthesis
  • Eukaryotes
    Plant cells
  • Prokaryotes
    Some prokaryotes perform photosynthesis, using membranes in cytoplasm
  • Mitochondria
    Breaks down food to make energy, cellular respiration
  • Eukaryotes
    In plants and animals
  • Prokaryotes
    None, prokaryotes carry out reactions in cytoplasm
  • Cell wall
    Provides strength protection and support
  • Eukaryotes
    Plants only
  • Prokaryotes
    I'm n prokaryotes
