Biology 5 Flashcards
Cell membrane structure
Flexible fluid phospholipid bilayer. Contains embedded proteins
Cell membrane function
Controls what goes in and out of a Cell
Cell wall structure
Rigid structure made of cellulose (carbohydrate)
Cell wall function
Provides and maintains the shape of the cell and serves as a protective barrier.
Cytoplasm structure
Jelly-like fluid that fills the cell.
Cytoplasm function
Contains all the organelles (cell parts) and is a location for chemical reactions.
Mitochondria structure
Membrane structure that has a smooth outer membrane and a highly folded inner membrane.
Mitochondria function
Converts sugar to ATP so the cell can carry out its functions.
Lysosomes structure
Small, membrane-bound structure.
Lysosomes function
Contains enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion.
Vesicle structure
Membrane-bound structures that form from the cell membrane or Golgi Body.
Vesicle function
Transports molecules throughout the cell.
Golgi bodies structure
Stacks of membrane-bound vesicles.
Chloroplast structure
Double outer membrane and contains light-collecting parts.
Chloroplast function
Converts sunlight energy to sugar.
