Cell function Flashcards
Function of Cell Membrane
Protects the cell and is selectively permeable so it controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Function of Nucleus
Contains genetic material (DNA)
Controls nearly all activities in the cell
Function of Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
Rewrite rRNA and combine it with protein
Function of Mitochondria
Site of cellular respiration
They’re in the cytoplasm
Create ATP (energy)
function of Cytoplasm
Protects everything in the cell
Function of Lysosome
Contain enzymes that digest all major chemical components of living cells
Function of Golgi body
Packaging proteins for delivery to other organelles
Function of rough Endoplasmic Recticulum
Makes and transports proteins
Has ribosomes on the surface
Function of smooth Endoplasmic Recticulum
Makes and transports Lipids and Fats
Function of ribosomes
Manufacture proteins as instructed by the DNA in the nucleus
