Question

1. complete the table below for organelles and their functions.

cell membrane: controls what goes in and what comes out
breaks down macromolecules and gathers garbage / toxins
rough er
ships and packages lipids
mitochondria: power house
collects sunlight to make energy for a plant
food and water storage
nucleus
produces ribosomes
cell wall: holds everything together
dna: holds all the instructions (recipe) for making proteins & traits
golgi apparatus
gel - like substance that surrounds/protects organelles, gives cell shape

Explanation:

• Cell Membrane: Regulates the entry and exit of substances.
• Lysosome: Breaks down macromolecules and manages waste.
• Rough ER: Involved in protein synthesis (due to ribosomes).
• Smooth ER: Ships and packages lipids.
• Mitochondria: Produces energy (ATP).
• Chloroplast: Conducts photosynthesis in plants.
• Vacuole: Stores food and water.
• Nucleus: Controls cell activities (contains DNA).
• Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes.
• Cell Wall: Provides structural support.
• DNA: Holds genetic instructions.
• Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and transports proteins.
• Cytoplasm: Supports and protects organelles.

Answer:

Organelle	Function
Lysosome	Breaks down macromolecules and gathers garbage / toxins
Rough ER	Protein synthesis (due to ribosomes)
Smooth ER	Ships and packages lipids
Mitochondria	Powerhouse (produces ATP)
Chloroplast	Collects sunlight to make energy for a plant
Vacuole	Food and water storage
Nucleus	Controls cell activities (contains DNA)
Nucleolus	Produces Ribosomes
Cell Wall	Holds everything together (structural support)
DNA	Holds all the instructions (recipe) for making proteins & traits
Golgi Apparatus	Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
Cytoplasm	Gel - like substance that surrounds / protects organelles, gives cell shape
