cell structure Flashcards
1
Q
name all the parts of a eukaryotic cell (7 for animal + 3 for plant)
A
nucleus, mitochondrion, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cell surface membrane, ribosomes, + chloroplasts, cellulose cell wall, large central vacuole
2
Q
name the parts of a nucleus (3)
A
nuclear envelope with pores, chromatin (chromosomes?), nucleolus
3
Q
what are the properties and functions of the mitochondrion?
A
- double membranous
- contains ribosomes
- aerobic respiration
- ATP synthesis
4
Q
what are the properties and functions of the nucleus?
A
- has nuclear envelope, nucleolus and chromosomes
- (nucleolus) site where ribosomes are synthesised
5
Q
what are the properties and functions of the SER?
A
- no ribosomes
- lipid and steroid synthesis
- storage of Ca+
6
Q
what are the properties and functions of the RER?
A
- ribosomes attaches
- synthesis of protein (folden into 3D conformation & packaged into vesicles)
7
Q
what are the properties and functions of the ribosome?
A
- free floating or attached
- site of protein synthesis (some attached to RER)
8
Q
what are the properties and functions of the Golgi apparatus?
A
- site of synthesis of biochemicals
- activation of proteins
9
Q
what are the properties and functions of the cell surface membrane?
A
- phospholipid bilayer acts as barrier
