A Tour Of The Cell TEST 2 Flashcards
Forms the boundary of the cell, acts as a selective barrier allowing certain materials to pass but not others
Cell Membrane
The entire region between the nucleus and the cell membrane, consists of cytosol
Cytoplasm
Contains most of the genes that control the eukaryotic cell, generally the most conspicuous organelle in a eukaryotic cell, contains nucleolus and chromatin
Nucleus
Where the components of the ribosomes are synthesized and assembled, found in the nucleus
Nucleolus
Consists of DNA and protein, condenses to form chromosomes
Chromatin
Double membrane that forms the boundary between the nuclear contents and the cytoplasm, perforated with pores
Nuclear envelope
Site of protein synthesis, suspended in the cytosol, produces proteins for use within the cell
Free ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis, attached to the outside surface of the ER, produces proteins for use outside the cell of for use in the cell membrane
Bound ribosomes
Sythesizes lipids including phospholipids and steroids, metabolizes carbs, detoxifie drugs and poisons, stores calcium ions, lacks attached ribosomes
Smooth ER
Consists of flattened membranous sacs, receivers transport proteins from the ER, modifies ER products, produces certain molecules, produces lysosomes and secretory proteins
Golgi apparatus
Channels proteins to transport vesicles, attaches carbs to some proteins, involved in membrane production through the production of vesicles, has attached ribosomes
Rough ER
Carries ER products to the Golgi
Transport vesicle
Carries Golgi modified products to the cell membrane, fuses with the cell membrane releasing the contents to the outside of the cell
Secretly vacuole
Membrane foudn sac of hydrologic enzymes, enzymes are used to digest food, other molecules, old worn out cell parts.
Lysosome
Membrane bound sacs, larger than vesicles, stores material.
Vacuole
