Seperates DNA from rest of cell: site of transcription (first step in protein synthesis); nucleolus produces ribosomes
|
Nucleus
|
Scaffold for protein synthesis
|
Ribosome
|
Site of some protein synthese and folding; lipid synthesis
|
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
|
Links sugars to form starches or joins them to lipids or proteins: completes protein folding: stores secretions
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
Degrades debris; recycles cell contents
|
Lysosome
|
Produces turgor pressure; recycles cell contents; contains pigments
|
Central vacuole
|
Disposes of toxins; breaks down fatty acids; eliminates hydrogen peroxide
|
Peroxisome
|
Carries out photosynthese to produce food (glucose)
|
Chloroplast
|
Releases energy from food
|
Mitochondrion
