Function of Plant Cell Organelles Cell Membrane: Determines what goes in/out of cell. Protects and supports cell Cytoplasm: Supports and protects cell’s organelles. Contains some nutrients for cell Nuclear Membrane: Decides what goes into and out of the nucleus – DNA is too large but RNA is small enough to leave Nucleus (contains chromatin and nucleolus): Directs cell activities. Chromatin: genetic material – DNA (chromosomes) which contain instructions for traits. Nucleolus: makes ribosomes Ribosome: Makes proteins Cell Wall: Supports & protects the plant cell Chloroplast: Photosynthesis uses sunlight to make sugar for plant Vacuole: Help plants maintain shape Storage, digestion, & waste removal Lytic Vacuole: Functions similarly to a lysosome; digests excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Transports proteins and breaks down toxins in the cell. Does not contain ribosomes Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Transports proteins and breaks down toxins in the cell. Covered in ribosomes which make the proteins that are transported. Mitochondria: “Powerhouse” of cell. Produces energy from sugar through chemical reactions (Cellular Respiration) Golgi Body/ Apparatus: Processes and packages proteins & lipids. Moves materials within the cell and out of the cell in small sac called a “vesicle”
