STRUCTURE AND ORGANELLE FUNCTIONS Mitochondria ? transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP to power the cell's chemical reactions. Nucleus ? Controls the cell's functions and houses and protects the cell's genetic information. DNA ? the hereditary information that contains instructions for the structure and function of the organism. Chromosome ? condensed chromatin in the nucleus made of DNA and protein. Cell Membrane ? allows certain molecules to enter or leave the cell, separates internal metabolic reactions from the external environment. Also allows the cell to excrete waste and to interact with its environment. Ribosomes ? small, rough spherical organelles responsible for building protein.
