21
Q

Quiescent Def.

A

Temporary State of cell dormancy (no replication)

22
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure + Location

A

Interconnected tubules and sacs between the nucleus and cytoplasm

23
Q

2 Types of Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

Smooth and Rough

24
Q

Difference Between Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

Rough contains ribosomes, smooth doesn’t

25
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum Functions

A

Rough: protein synthesis. Smooth: Lipid Metabolism

26
Q

Golgi Apparatus Structure

Stacks of flattened containers (cisterns/sacs)

27
Q

cis - Golgi/face def

A

Towards nucleus

28
Q

trans - Golgi/ face

A

Towards membrane

29
Q

Golgi Apparatus Location

A

Cytosol between Endoplasmic Reticulum and cell membrane

30
Q

Golgi Apparatus Function

A

Glycolisation of proteins + lipids. Distribution of products to other organelles, packaging waste for excretion fro cell

31
Q

Mitochondrion Structure

A

Double membrane seperated by intermembrane space, matrix

32
Q

Mitochondrion Double Membrane Composition

A

Outer is permeable to small molecules, inner contain cristae

33
Q

Mitochondrion Function

A

Contains enzymes for ETS, Krebs Cycle and beta-oxidation of fatty acids , generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation

34
Q

Lysososme Structure

A

single membrane spherical organelles. Contains acid hydrolases
