Cell Organelle Function Flashcards
1
Q
Plasma membrane
A
- movement of substances
- receptor molecules to respond to chemicals
2
Q
Cell wall
A
supports plant cells
3
Q
Nucleus
A
- controls cells activities
- instructions to make proteins
4
Q
Nucleolus
A
makes RNA + ribosomes
5
Q
Nuclear envelope
A
- separates contents of nucleus from cell
- pores for substance movement
6
Q
Lysosome
A
- contain hydrolytic enzymes
- separate enzymes from cell
- engulf old organelles + reuse
7
Q
Ribosome
A
protein synthesis
8
Q
RER
A
Folds & processes proteins made at ribosomes
9
Q
SER
A
- synthesis
- processes lipids
10
Q
Vesicle
A
- transports substances in/out cell & between organelles
11
Q
Golgi apparatus
A
- processes & packages new lipids/proteins
- makes lysosomes
12
Q
Mitochondrion
A
- site of aerobic respiration
- found in large numbers in cells which require lots of energy
13
Q
Centriole
A
involved in separation of chromosomes during cell division
14
Q
Chloroplast
A
- site of photosynthesis
- photosynthesis occurs in stroma/grana
15
Q
Cilia
A
- microtubules allow cilia to move
- movement used by cell to move substances along cell surface
