Bio Cell Exam 2 Flashcards
nucleus
stores DNA
endomembrane system
a network of membrane-bound chambers where protein targeting and processing takes place
rough ER
has ribosomes, makes polypeptides and has signal sequences to facilitate protein targeting
smooth ER
contains enzymes, synthesis carbs and lipids, detoxification
ribosomes
bound to rough ER, makes proteins
gylcosylation
process in which carbs are added to proteins in the Golgi
lysosomes
contain hydrolytic enzymes, undergo digestion
vacuoles
large membrane-bound sacs, storage
cytoskeleton
complexion of proteins in the cytoplasm holding everything together- internal support and cell movement
3 types of cytoskeleton
microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules
microfilaments
made of actin, changes cell shape and contraction
intermediate filaments
made of fibrous, maintain cell shape and support
microtubules
hollow tubes of tubulin, help in mitosis and movement
mitochondria
cell respiration, convert nutrients into ATP, maternally inherited
chloroplasts
only in plants and some protests, convert sunlight energy to chemical energy
