Cell organelles Flashcards
learn organelles functions
Mitochondria
- has double membrane
- inner membrane folded (cristae) which increases surface area.
- used to convert chemical energy in food to ATP.
- contain own DNA
- power house of the cell
lysosme
- attach to food vacuoles & digest their contents.
- destroy old or malfunctioning cell parts.
- capable of destroying bacteria (hydrolysis).
- made by golgi apparatus
- double membraned vacuoles w/hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes.
- AKA “suicide sacs”
Goligi apparatus
- made up of flattened saccules of cell membrane.
- one side faces ER other faces plasma membrane.
- usually has vesicles on edges
- They recieve, modify, and temperarily store proteins & fats from the rough and smooth ER.
Vesicles
- storage sacs of membrane.
- used to move substances around the cell that need to be seperate from cytoplasm.
- stores food, water, and waste
Smooth ER
- has no ribosomes
- makes lipids & steroids
- detoxifies harmful material or waste products
Plasma membrane
- composed of a bi-layer of phospholids w/proteins embedded in it.
- SELECTIVELY controls what comes in and out cell
ribosomes
- Made up of 2 subunits: one small and one large.
- site of protein synthesis
- may be found alone, in groups (polysomes) or attached to the ER
Rough ER
- has attached ribosomes
- usually connected with nuclear membrane
- ribosomes make protiens & place them in rER
- packages proteins in transport vesicles & send to golgi.
Chromatin
- densely coiled DNA wrapped around histone protiens.
- contains blueprint for all proteins in the body.
- condensed into chromosomes before cell replication
cytoplasm
a watery gel that supports organelles and provides water for all of the cell’s biochemistry
Nuclear envelope
- double layer of cell membrane, which contains very large pores.
- pores allow RNA, ribosomal subunits, & proteins in and out of the nucleus.
nucleolus
-dark stained area in nucleus. is made up of proteins, DNA & RN.
-has no membrane
makes rRNA (ribosomal RNA) which makes ribosomes.
Phagocytosis
cell eating
pinocytosis
cell drinking
photosynthesis
C6H12O6+O2
Cellular respiration
C6H12O6+O2 - CO2+H2O+ATP
mitochondria
Animal cell
- has no cell wall
- smaller
- nucleus in center
- Many vacuoles
- cannot synthesis nutrients
- no plasmodemata
protein synthesis
proccess of creating protein molecule
vacuole
larger and are formed by phagocytosis
-plant cells have large centeral vacuoles filled with water
Facilitative transport
- high-low
- requires carrier protein
- passive= NO energy required
- large and charged molecules
Active transport
- low to high
- requires carrier protein
- energy required
- large and charged molecules
- ex. sodium/potassium pump
- ex. thyroid gland and iodine
Diffusion
- high to low
- NO carrier protein required
- passive=NO energy required
- very small (o2) and lipid soluble molecules (steroids)
- process of spreading particles
- gas and water
- ex. blood o2 and co2
- glucose in carrier proteins
- speed affected by in notes
Osmosis
- Movement of water in and out cell
- high to low
- moves to more concentrated side
- cross membrane through protein ion channel
- ex. large intestines, kidneys
Passive transport
-NO energy required transport
