How can I remember organelles?
- Cell membrane. Members only can come and go.
- Cell wall. Im a brick wall.
- Cytoplasm. Sail through my plasm.
- Mitochondria. I am the “mighty” powerhouse.
- Lysosomes. I clean things up! ( …
- Vacoules. Ill store anything (Hint vacuum bags)
- Golgi Bodies. Im a “GOLden” packer.
- Chloroplasts.
How do you remember the chloroplasts?
Chlorophyll gum is green. Let the gum represent a chloroplast. Imagine chewing the chlorophyll gum while you sleep. You wake up, yawn, the morning light hits your mouth and the gum, and you leap out of the bed with energy.
What organelle is the boss?
The nucleus is an internal compartment that houses the cell’s DNA (the boss). Most functions of a eukaryotic cell are controlled by the cell’s nucleus.
What do ribosomes do?
A ribosome is a cellular particle made of RNA and protein that serves as the site for protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the sequence of the messenger RNA (mRNA) and, using the genetic code, translates the sequence of RNA bases into a sequence of amino acids.
What does nucleolus remind you of?
The nucleolus makes ribosomes. The nucleolus reminds me of a hammer.
What does the smooth ER do?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), meshwork of fine disklike tubular membrane vesicles, part of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that is involved in the synthesis and storage of lipids, including cholesterol and phospholipids, which are used in the production of new cellular …
What organelle is a brick wall?
Cell Organelles | City Analogies |

What organelle produces ribosome?
The nucleolus
The nucleolus is a region found within the cell nucleus that is concerned with producing and assembling the cell’s ribosomes.
What cell makes ribosomes?
Ribosomes are produced by nucleolus.
What is lysosome function?
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
