cell organelles Flashcards
what happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution
water enters the cell and it expands and bursts
what happens to a cell in an isotonic solution
nothing
what happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution
water leaves the cell and it shrinks
what is the structure of the nucleus
- double membrane called nuclear envelope = selectively permeable
function of nucleus
stores genetic information that controls cell metabolism and reproduction
structure of the nucleolus
subspace in the nucleus that isn’t bound by a membrane
function of the nucleolus
ribosome synthesis
structure of cell surface membrane
fluid mosaic model of phospholipid bilayer
function of cell surface membrane
separates internal and external environment. is selectively permeable for exchange
structure of the golgi
stacks of flattened membranous disks
function of the golgi
packing proteins from the RER into vesicles by tagging sugar molecules
structure of the RER
network of membranous calans filled with fluid an lined with ribosomes. fold = lumen
function of the RER
central role in synthesis and modification
structure of the SER
networ of membranous canals that don’t have ribosomes
function of the SER
It makes lipids and steroids. Also responsible for detoxifying the cell.
structure of ribosomes
small particles that are free in the cytopplasm
function of ribosomes
protein synthesis
structure of mitochondria
double bounded membrane with inner and outer membrane. Space between the inner and the matrix is called the intermembrane space.
function of mitochondria
site of ATP production
structure of lyosomes
Spheres full of enzymes that hydrolyze materials to reuse.
function of lysosomes
break down what is in the center
structure of microfilaments
Thinnest part of the cytoskeleton and is made of actin
function of microfilaments
Roles in cytokinesis, movement and changes in shape.
structure of centrioles
Hollow cylindrical structure with nine microtubule triplets.
