Animal Cell Flashcards
Name all the components of an animal cell
Nucleus
Ribosomes
RER
Lysosomes
Mitochondria
SER
Nucleus
Golgi apparatus
Cell membrane
Vesicles
Cytoplasm
Structure and Function of a Nucleus
Centre of cell
Contains genetic information
Structure and Function of a Nucleolus
Middle of Nucleus
Produces ribosomes for RER
Structure and Function of a Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Folded membrane near Nucleus
Protein synthesis
Structure and Function of a Ribosomes
Made of 2 subunits and RNA
Produces proteins
Structure and Function of a Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Near Nucleus/ folded membrane
Lipid & Carbohydrates synthesis
Structure and Function of a Golgi Apparatus
Neat and uniformed 4-8 folds
Modifies proteins
Structure and Function of a Lysosomes
Large Vesicle containing enzymes
Breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones
Structure and Function of a Mitochondria
Double membrane/pill shaped
Respiration producing ATP (used to produce proteins)
Structure and Function of a Centrioles
In pairs /2 barrel shaped organelles with microtubes running through them
Form cytoskeleton
Structure and Function of a cell membrane
Proteins on membrane/ fluid mosaic model
Controls what enters/leaves the cell
Structure and Function of a Vesicles
Some surrounds the golgi apparatus / spheres of membranes
Transports substances
Structure and Function of a Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance that fills the cell
Chemical reactions take place
Definition of a Eukaryotic cell
Contains membrane-bound organelles
