biology cell test Flashcards
vesicle
stores and transports packages
nucleus
largest organelle, nucleus reduces ribosomes
cytoskeleton
long thin tubes, provides support/strength
cell membrane
holds organelles in place = gatekeeper, imports / exports nutrients
cytoplasm
molecules break down everything on the inside
lysosomes
travel around the cell and digest organelles
ribosomes
synthesizes proteins, is in various locations of the cell
rough er
synthesizes macromolecules, transports proteins
mitochondria
2 membranes, uses sugars and fatty acids to generate energy
smooth er
synthesizes lipids, transports proteins
golgi apparatus
flat and slightly curved sack, has a vesicle, modifies packages
prokaryotes
single-celled organisms, don’t contain membrane-bound organelles
eukaryotes
single-celled or multicellular organisms, contain membrane-bound organelles
