Biology unit 3: Functions and shapes of plant cells Flashcards
Function of Cell membrane
Thin flexible membrane then surrounds the cell
shape of Cell membrane
Circular, located on the outside shell of the cell
Function of Cytoskeleton
Protein filaments that provide structural support
Shape of Cytoskeleton
Long fibers or threads
Function of Nucleus
Store genetic info and instructions or making proteins
Shape of Nucleus
Dense circle
Function of ER
Folded membranes when lipids and proteins are made
Shape of ER
Rough- with ribosomes
Smooth- without ribosomes
Function of Ribosomes
Small particles of RNA and protein that assembles protein strands
Shape of Ribosomes
Tiny, circular organelles
Function of Golgi Apparatus
Packages, modifies, sorts proteins
Shape of Golgi Apparatus
Stacked membranes, not connected
Function of Mitochondria
Provide energy, powerhouse of the cell
Shape of Mitochondria
Bean
Function of Vacuole
Fluid filled sac used to store materials
Shape of Vacuole
Circle
Function of Lysosome
Organelles that ate filled with enzyme to break down and clean up the cell
Shape of Lysosome
Near cell membrane, circular
Function of Cell wall
Plant pieces that adds protection support and shape to the cell
Shape of Cell wall
Thick wall
Function Chloroplast
Place where energy is made in plants
Shape of Chloroplast
Oval shape
