Cell Organelles

Organelle/Part Where found Function
Cell membrane All cells Support Protection Controls movement of materials in/out of cell Barrier between cell and its environment Maintains homeostasis
Cell wall Plant, Fungi, & Bacteria, Support (grow tall) Protection
Cytoplasm All cells Supports and protects cell organelles
Nucleus All cells except prokaryotes Controls cell activities Contains the hereditary material of the cell
Mitochondria All cells except prokaryotes Site of aerobic cellular respiration
Ribosome All cells Site of protein synthesis
Chlorplast Plant cells, some prokaryotes Site of photosynthesis
Vacuole Plant and animal cells Store food, water, metabolic & toxic wastes Store large amounts of food or sugars in plants
Lysosome Common in animal cells Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules Digests old cell parts
Flagella Some bacteria, protists, and animal cells Movement
