Animal cell (eukaryotic cell). Flashcards
Animal cell organelles.
Nucleus.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Golgi body.
Lysozomes.
Centrioles.
Mitochondria.
Nucleus structure and function.
Nuclear envelope: Seperates nucleus and cytoplasm.
Nuclear pores: Allows MRNA to leave the nucleus.
Nucleoplasm: DNA attached to histone proteins (DNA wrapped around histone=chromatin).
Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum structure and function.
S: Studded with 80s ribosomes, attached to the nucleus, made of flattened sacs called Cisternae (attached).
F: Site of protein synthesis and transports proteins (makes vesicles out of phospholipids that contain proteins made in the rer which then go to the golgi body).
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum structure and function.
S: Cisternae but no ribosomes.
F: Produces lipids.
Golgi body/apparatus structure and function.
S: Semicircular Cisternae (not attached).
F: Modifies proteins (adds on things and makes sure they are correct).
Lysozomes structure and function.
S: Vesicles containing digestive enzymes.
F: Digests and recycles damaged organelles.
Centrioles structure and function.
S: 2 perpendicular tubes next to the nucleus.
F: Produces fibres that are needed in cell division (spindle).
Mitochondria structure and function.
S: Outer membrane, Inner mebrane, Intermembrane space, 70s ribosomes, Matrix (own cytoplasm), Cristae (folded inner membrane).
F: Aerobic respiration to produce ATP (to store energy).
