Anatomy of Cells Flashcards
Ribosomes attach and synthesize protein
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes Carbs and combine with protein and packages products as globules
Golgi Apparatus
Bags of digestive enzymes “digestive system”
Lysosomes
Catabolism, ATP synthesis
Mitochondria
Houses genetic code and detects protein synthesis
Nucleus
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Tiny, fingerlike extensions that increase a cell’s absorptive surface area (Small intestines)
Micorvilli
Hairlike cell extensions that serves to move substances over the cell surface of propel sperm cells
Cilia (Respiratory Tract) and Flagella (Sperm)
Forms ribosomes and part of the nucleus
Nucleolus
Made of a bilayer of phospholipids
Plasma Membrane
Hydrophilic (Heads of phospholipids)
Water loving
Hydrophobic (Tails of phospholipids)
Water fearing
Smallest cell fibers (muscle fibers), made of a single thin, twisted strand of protein
Microfilament
Twisted protein strands that are slightly thicker than microfilaments (Outer layer of the skin)
Intermediate Filaments
The thickest of the cell fibers, tiny hollow tubes, made of microtubule subunits arranged in spiral fashion (moves things around within cell)
Macrotubules
