Chromosomes

A

When the cell is in the process of dividing to from daughter cells, the chromatin coils & condenses forming rod like bodies

Q

Rough ER

A

Studded w/ ribosomes; tubules of the rough ER provide an area for storage & transport of the proteins made on the the ribosomes of other cell areas

Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Packing proteins or other substances fro export from the cell or incorporation into the plasma membrane & in packaging lysosomal enzymes
( where protein get shipped/package/modified)

Q

Microfilaments

A

Cell mobility

17
Q

Intermediate Filaments

A

Resist mechanical forces acting on cells

18
Q

Microtubules

A

Form the internal structure of the centrioles & help determine cell shape

19
Q

Microvilli

A

Increase the surface area of the cell available for absorption or passage and for the binding of signaling molecules

20
Q

Nuclear Envelope

A

The nucleus is bound by a double-layered porous membrane

21
Q

Nuclear Pore

A

They are spanned by protein complexes that regulate what passes through & they permit easy passage of protein & RNA molecules

22
Q

Plasma Membrane

A

Separates cell contents from the surrounding environment, providing a protective barrier

23
Q

Cytosol

A

The fluid cytoplasmic material
