Cell Structure Flashcards
ribosome
where protein synthesis takes place
nucleus
gives instructions for different activities in the cell
cell wall
the cell’s outer cover. protects and gives shape to the cell
cell membrane
inside the cell wall, controls what goes in and out
central vacuole
store waste, water and nutrients
cytoplasm
a thick liquid that fills space in the cell to help retain form
amyloplast (plants)
starch storage for plants
druse crystal (plants)
stores excess calcium called calcium oxalate
chloroplast (plants)
makes sugar for the cell
golgi apparatus
help sort the synthesised protein
mitochondrion
produces energy for the cell
endoplasmic reticulum (smooth)
helps in production and synthesis of lipids
endoplasmic reticulum (rough)
helps in production and quality control of proteins
lyosome
breaks down components the cell doesn’t need
