3Cells (organelles) Flashcards
Control center of cell; contains most of the DNA
Nucleus
Slipper shaped organelle that produce most of the energy ATP (powerhouse)
Mitochondria
Puts finishing touches on packages proteins to export from the cell
Golgi Apparatus
Structure that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Nuclear Membrane
Sandpaper-like structure dotted with ribosomes; concerned with protein synthesis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Long hairlike projection on the external surface of the cell membrane such as the tail of the sperm
Flagellun
Consists of cytosol and organelles; gel like substance within the cell
Cytoplasm
Selectively permeable structure that separates intracellular material from extracellular material
Cell membrane
Short hairlike projections on the outer surface of the cell
Cilia
Digestive organelles that “clean house”
Lysosomes
Organelles that help maintain the shape of the cell and assist the cell with movement
Microtubules
Gel-like part of the cytoplasm
Cytosol
Organelles that are either bound to the ER or are free in the cytoplasm; concerned with protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Type of endoplasmic reticulum concerned with the synthesis of lipids and steroids; does not contain ribosomes
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rod-shaped structures that play a key role in cellular respiration
Centrioles
