CELL NOTES
Plant Cell
• Contains 9 organelles.
• Large vacuole stores water and food.
• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transports materials through the cell.
• Golgi apparatus transports proteins.
• Cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell.
• Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration.
• Nucleus contains the cell's genetic information.
• Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis.
• Plant cells have a cell wall.

Chloroplasts, Mitochondria, Rough ER, Smooth ER and Golgi Apparatus.
Nucleus
• Often the largest organelle in the cell.
• Nuclear membrane protects the DNA.
• Nuclear pores control what enters and leaves the nucleus.
• Nucleolus produces ribosomal RNA(rRNA)
• Nucleoplasm contains materials used in cellular activities.
• Rough and smooth ER are connected to the nuclear membrane.
•endoplasmic reticulum transports large molecules in cytosol

ER and Smooth ER attached to the outer membrane.
