cell organelles and their functions Flashcards
rough endoplasmic reticulum
translation and folding of new proteins
manufacture of tysosomal enzymes
site of n-likned glylosylation
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
steroid, lipid synthesis
golgi apparatus
modifies, sorts, and packages the molecules that are destined for secretion
mitochondrion
aerobic respiration
contains mitochondrial genome as circula DNA
`Nucleus
DNA maintenance
RNA transcriptase
RNA splicing
lysosome
breakdown of large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides
nucleolus
ribosome production
ribosome
translation of RNA into proteins
peroxisome
Catabolism of very long chain fatty acids and amino acids
results in the formation of hydrogen peroxide
proteasome
along with the lysosome pathway involved in digration of protein molecules that have been tagged with ubiquintin.
