17
Q

What are the function of chloroplasts?

A

Carry out photosynthesis

18
Q

What are the main features of chloroplasts?

A

Chloroplast envelope, grana & stroma

19
Q

The grana are stacks of many disc-like structures called?

A

Thylakoids

20
Q

Where is chrolophyll found?

A

Inside the thylakoids

21
Q

How do the thylakoids make the structure of the chloroplasts adapted to their function?

A
  • Large SA for attachment of chlorophyll

-

22
Q

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

A

3D network of membranes through which proteins and other molecules move

23
Q

What are the two types of ER?

A
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum

- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

24
Q

What are the functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

A
  • Large SA for protein synthesis

- Pathway for transport of proteins

25
What are the functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Synthesises, stores and transports lipids & carbohydrates
26
What is the difference between the RER and SER?
RER has ribosomes present on membrane outer surface, SER doesn't. SER more tubular
27
What does the golgi apparatus consist of?
Cisternae
28
What are the functions of the golgi appartus?
- Forms glycoproteins - Produces secretory enzymes - Secretes carbohydrates - Stores, modifies & transports lipids - Forms lysosomes
29
What are the functions of lysosomes?
- Hydrolyses material ingested by phagocytic cells - Exocytosis - Digests worn out organelles - Breaks down cells once died (autolysis)
