cell organelle Flashcards
plasma/ cell membrane
phospholipid, selectively permeable, fluid mosaic model; function- separates cell from enviroment
cell wall
in plants, made of cellulose; supports and protects plant cells
nucleus
contains genetic material, controls cell’s activities
nuclear envelope/ membrane
surrounds nucleus
nuclear pores
holes in the nuclear membrane
chromatin
long, thin, stringy genetic material
nucleolus
makes ribosomes
ribosomes
make proteins
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
highway for cell, allows movement inside the cell
golgi apparatus
like a UPS- packages and ships proteins
lysosomes
recycle center, digests old cell organelles
vacuoles
stores mainly water, some food/waste, big in plants
chloroplast
in plants, preforms photosynthesis, has stacks of thylakoids, contains chlorophyll
mitochondria
glucose > ATP (energy), makes energy, has folded membrane- cristae
cytoskeleton
provides support for organelles, maintains shape
