Match each organelle to its correct biological function.
Nucleus
Select function...
It is semi- permeable and controls what goes in and out of the cell
Where chemical reactions take place
Contains a green pigment called chlorophyll to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
Contains DNA and controls the activities of the cell
Contains cell sap and controls the size of the cell. When it absorbs water, the cell becomes turgid (swells) and when it loses water the cell becomes flaccid (shrinks)
Contains cellulose and strengthens and supports the cell
Where respiration takes place
Where proteins are made/ synthesised
