Big theme in biology:

Structure and function are related!

This is true at all levels of organization: at the levels of molecules, organelles, cells,

tissues, organs, and organisms.

Cell Organelles in Cytoplasm

Organelle (part) Function (job)Mitochondria “powerhouse” converts food energy in to

usable energy (ATP)

ER Carries proteins throughout the cell.

Ribosomes Makes proteins

Golgi Bodies Receives, packages & sends materials.

Chloroplasts(plant only)

Captures light energy to make food energy

Vacuoles storage

Lysosomes Chemicals for breakdown.
