Animal Cell Ultra Structure Flashcards
What is the function of the:
Mitochondria
The site of aerobic respiration, produces energy for the cell.
What is the function of the:
Centrioles
aids with cell division.
What is the function of the:
Nucleolus
inside of the nucleus and produces RNA and ribosomes.
What is the function of the:
Nucleus
contains the cells genetic information and regulates metabolic activity.
What is the function of the:
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
carries out protein synthesis
What is the function of the:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
carries out carbohydrate and lipid synthesis.
What is the function of the:
Lysosomes
Hydrolyte enzymes responsible for breaking down waste.
What is the function of the:
Ribosomes
responsible for protein synthesis when attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the function of the:
Vesicles
transports materials out of the cell.
What is the function of the:
Golgi Apparatus
new proteins are modified and then packed into vesicles.
What is the function of the:
Plasma Membrane
regulates transport in/out the cell.
What is the structure of:
Mitochondria
It has 2 membranes, the inner (cristae) and the middle (matrix)
What is the structure of:
Centrioles:
They are small tubes of protein fibre and it doesn’t have a membrane.
What is the structure of:
Plasma Membrane
It is made of a phospholipid bilayer and it has 2 layers.
What is the structure of:
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
It is membrane bound, flattened sacs called cisternae which are covered in ribosomes.
