cell organelles Flashcards
contains chromatin and nucleolus
nucleus
assembles ribosomes
nucleolus
location of DNA; provides genetic regulation of the cell
chromatin (chromosomes in cell division)
double layer of membrane; outer boundary of nucleus
nuclear membrane
allows materials to move between cytoplasm and nucleoplasm
nuclear pore
regulates passage of materials into/out of the cell (=selectively permeable)
cell membranes (=plasma membrane)
SYNTHESIS, transport (passageway) and packaging of proteins
rough ER
SYNTHESIS, transport (passageway) and packaging of carbohydrates/lipids
smooth ER
site of protein synthesis
ribosome
cylindrical organelle that occurs in pairs; involved in the development of spindle fibers
centriole
final assembly, transport and packaging of materials, mostly for secretion from cell
Golgi Body (Golgi apparatus)
export materials via exocytosis
secretory vesicles
digestion within the cell of large molecules into their simpler components
lysosome
detoxify harmful toxins like alcohols and hydrogen peroxide
peroxisome
site of aerobic (oxygen requiring) steps of cellular respiration (break down glucose to make ATP)
mitochondrion
