Cell organelles Flashcards
translation and folding of new proteins
manufacture of lysosomal enzymes
site of N-linked glycosylation
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
Give examples of cells with extensive RER
pancreatic cells
goblet cells
plasma cells
Responsible for steroid and lipid synthesis
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
Give examples of cells with extensive SER
adrenal cortex
hepatocytes
testes
ovaries
Modifies, sorts, and packages these molecules that are destined for cell secretion
The addition of mannose-6-phosphate to proteins designates transport to lysosome
Golgi apparatus
Aerobic respiration. Contains mitochondrial genome as circular DNA
Mitochondrion
DNA maintenance
RNA transcription
RNA splicing
Nucleus
Breakdown of large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides
Lysosome
Ribosome production
Nucleolus
Translation of RNA into proteins
Ribosome
Catabolism of very long chain fatty acids and amino acids
Results in the formation of hydrogen peroxide
peroxisome
Along with the lysosome pathway involved in degradation of protein molecules that have been tagged with ubiquitin
Proteasome
