cell organelles Flashcards
cytoplasm
where chemical reaction metabolism takes place
storage sugars such as glycogen and melanin are found in cytoplasm
It’s a semi-fluid material
nucleus
largest part of the cell
contains genetic material
control activities of the cell
golgi aparatus
responsible for packing proteins for delivery to other organelles
produces lysosomes
mitrochondria
rod - shaped spherical bodies
energy released from glucose is trapped and stored until needed by adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
when energy is needed the adenosine triphosphate breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
found only in chromatin network and chromosomes of nucleus
responsible for all inherited characteristics
RNA
Ribonucleic acid
found in cell and nucleus
responsible for manufacture of cell proteins such as enzymes and hormones
cell membrane
controls movement of substances in and out of the cell
phospho-lipid-protein bilayer
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
involved in metabolism of lipids or fats
no attached ribosomes
centrioles
every cell in the body has 2
found near nucleus at a right angle
play an important role in cell division
lysosomes
produced by parts of golgi aparatus
called suicide bags due to containing powerful enzymes that digest all major parts of cell
destroy bacteria
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
studded with ribosomes
make cell proteins
act as temporary storage area
ribosomes
contain different forms of RNA (ribonucleic acid)
role is to manufacture proteins
