Cell organelles Flashcards
1
Q
nucleus
A
Acts as a control center of the cell, manufacture of ribsomes
2
Q
mitochondrion
A
Certain stages of respiration. They produce energy carrier molecules ATP.
3
Q
Endoplasmic reticulum
A
RER (rough) has ribosomes present, provides large surface area for synthesis of proteins. SER (smooth) lack of ribosomes, synthesises stores and transports lipids and carbohydrates
4
Q
lysosomes
A
breakdown materials ingested by phagocyte cells. Release enzymes to outside of cell. digest worn out organelles
5
Q
golgi apparatus
A
add carbohydrates to proteins to form glycoproteins. Transports, modifies and stores lipids. Form lysosomes
6
Q
microvilli
A
they increase the surface area for more efficient absorption
