10. •Mitochondria are the powerhouse of
the cell because they release energy
rich compound, the ATP
•Glucose and oxygen react
•ATP is needed for the functioning,
growth and maintenance of the
body.
18. Chromatin
• Long strands of
DNA scattered
through the cell’s
nucleus.
• A substance
located in the
nucleus, consisting
of RNA and DNA
and other proteins.

11. Ribosomes
27. Answer
Cell organelle Functions
1. Centrioles Only in animal cell and are important during cell division.
2. Chromatin Long strands of DNA scattered through the cell’s nucleus.
3. Endoplasmic reticulum Folded membrane that forms a system of canals that transport materials in the cell.
4. Golgi apparatus Package and moves materials out of the cell.
5. Lysosome Breaks down food and digests wastes and all cell parts.
6. Mitochondrion Where energy is produced in the cell.
7. Cytoskeleton A structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization.
8. Nucleolus A darker, condensed part of the nucleus that makes the ribosomes.
9. Nucleus The ‘control centre’ of the cell that contains the DNA and the nucleolus.
10. Plasma/cell membrane A selectively permeable membrane that encloses the cell contents.
11. Ribosomes Manufacture the proteins in the cell (protein synthesis).
