Ribosomes are for assembling the proteins of a
cell.
Smallest organelle but the but the most
abundant.
Ribosomes mix amino acid to convert food
into protein.
Ribosomes are attached to the Endoplasmic
Reticulum which makes the surface look rough
hence the rough ER.
Ribosomes are made up of dozens of proteins
Centrosomes

Also called the “Microtubules organizing
center.”
Not essential but has a big part in the animal
cell.
Centrosomes help in the division process.
Control structure of cell.
Centrosomes are made up of centrioles.
Placed near the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Are made up of two centrioles which
separate at the time of cell division.
Fun Facts
Ribosomes

Rib is from
ribonucleic acid
Soma is Greek for
body
Ribosomes contain
twenty-five
percent of the cells

Centrosomes

Cancer cells have
more than normal
number of
centrosomes.
Centrosomes are not
in fungi.
The first animal found
to not have
centrosome is a fresh
water flat worm.
