01. Cells Flashcards
Outline the function of smooth ER
To synthesize hormones and lipids
Describe the structure of smooth ER
a long network of a folded, tube-like structure.
Descrine the structure of rough ER
a long network of a folded, tube-like structure studded with ribosomes.
Describe the sturcture of the Golgi Apparatus (G.A.)
folded membranes within the cytoplasm
Outline the function of the rough ER
To synthesise protein
Outline the function of the Golgi Apparatus (G.A.)
To transport, package and modify proteins and lipids.
Outline the function of Nucleolus
To assist in the formation of ribosomes
Outline the function of Lysosomes
To break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
Outline the function of the mitochondrion (mitochondria)
To provide energy through aerobic respiration.
Outline the function of ribosomes
To hold RNA, synthesize proteins from amino acids
Describe cell membrane
Thin membrane around edge of cell
Describe the Nucleolus
a spherical structure found in the cell’s nucleus
Outline the function of the Nucleus
To hold the DNA or genetic material of the body
Describe the Mitochondrion (mitochondria)
bean shaped membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular)
