OrganelleStructures
Lysosome• Contains digestive enzymes that
break down molecules
Smooth ER• Makes Fats
Mitochondria• Powerhouse of the cell (makes
energy-ATP)
Nucleolus• Makes RNA & Ribosomes
Vacuole• Storage of water, starch, fats,
etc.
Golgi Body• Stores, packages & secretes fats
& proteins
Microfilaments• Associated with muscle
contractions in larger organisms
Chromatin• Uncoiled DNA
Microtubules• Provide shape & rigidity to the
cell
Cell Wall• Support & protection for plant
cell
Centrioles• Moves chromosomes during cell
division
Chloroplast• Site of photosynthesis
Ribosomes• Makes Proteins
Plasma Membrane• Controls materials in & out of
the cell
Rough ER• Acts like a conveyer belt and
transports proteins
Nucleus• Control center of the cell
Cytoskeleton• Acts as a scaffold to provide shape & support for the cell
Plastid• “Generic” plant organelle that
stores starch or pigments based on the type
