Biology Flashcards
No CENTRIOLE
function-
plant, animal, or both-
function- small organelle that aids in cell division, made of microtubules
plant, animal, or both- both
- but very few plant cells have it, most plant cells lack cenntrioles
Cytoplasm
function-
plant, animal, or both-
function- this fluid fills the cell, provide its shape, and contains molecules that break down waste and aid in metabolism
plant, animal, or both- both
Golgi body
function- this organelle stores sorts processes and releases products from the endoplasmic reticulum
plant, animal, or both- Both
Lysosome
function- this digests excess materials from the cytoplasm using a variety of enzymes to break down molecules
plant, animal, or both- Animal
Microtubule
function- this structure aids with transport and motility including movement of chromosomes during mitosis
plant, animal, or both- Both
Mitochondria
function- during cellular respiration this organelle breaks down nutrients to produce energy/ Powerhouse of the cell
plant, animal, or both- Both
Nucleolus
function- this organelle stores the cells genetic material and coordinates cellular activity from protein synthesis to reproduction
plant, animal, or both- Both
Nuclearpore
function- The nuclear membrane is strong and protective but these small holes help to channel nucleic acids and proteins in and out as needed
plant, animal, or both- Both
ribosome
function- The mix of RNA and proteins is the side of protein synthesis and may float freely or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
plant, animal, or both- Both
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
function- This network of tubes is dotted with ribosomes and aids in protein production and transport
plant, animal, or both- Both
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
function- lacking ribosomes this smooth network of tubes helps to produce and metabolize fats and steroid hormone
plant, animal, or both- Both
Cell wall
function- This layer of polysaccharides supports and protects the cell it is found in most prokaryotes as well as in fungi and in plants
plant, animal, or both-
Chloroplast
function- This is one of several plastids or small organelles implant cells only it contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis
plant, animal, or both- Plant
Filamentous cytoskeleton
function- This protein structure gives the cell shape and AIDS in movement and transport it exists in animal cells as well as plant cells
plant, animal, or both- Both
Peroxisome
function- This organelle helps with the number of metabolic functions it exists in animal and plant cells
plant, animal, or both- Both
Plasma membrane
function- This layer of lipids and proteins forms the boundary of a cell or a vacuole and regulates movement of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm it exists in animal and plant cells
plant, animal, or both- Both
Plasmodesmata
function- This narrow filament of cytoplasm connects plant cells and allows for transport and communication
plant, animal, or both- Plant
Vacuole
function- This large organelle contains and stores water enzymes and waste products it is found in all plant and fungal cells as well as in some animal and prokaryote cells
plant, animal, or both- Both
