Cell Structure Flashcards
Nucleus
DNA contained here
Both plants and animals
Nucleolus
Ribosomes created here.
Inside nucleus
Both plants and animals
Ribosomes
Non membrane bound. Not an organelle
Protein synthesis
On Rough ER
both plants and animals
Mitochondria
Site of Cellular respiration
Glucose+O2=ATP, CO2, H2O
Own DNA + ribosomes
2 cell membranes. Binary Fission
Both plants and animals
Chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis
Own DNA, Ribosomes, Chlorophyll, binary fission
2 cell membrane
Plasma membrane
Made out of phospholipids
Selective permeability
Both plants and animals
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Attached to nuclear envelope
Smooth ER
Rough ER
both plants and animals
Smooth ER
No ribosomes
Makes lipids
Breaks down polysaccharides
Detoxifies
Rough ER
Has ribosomes
Proteins fold and modify
Secretes glycoproteins
Forms transport vesicles to golgi
Golgi apparatus
Modifies ER products
Sorts and packages
Some macromolecules created
Shipts via vesicle to lysosomes
Cis Face
Receives vesicles
Trans face
Ships vesicle after golgi does job
Lysosome
Sacs of hydrolytic digestive enzyme
Cell stomach: hydrolysis
Primary lysosome
Engulfs food
Secondary lysosome
Absorbs primary lysosome
Breaks down
Vacuole
Storage compartments
Food vacuole
Contractile Vacuole
Central Vacuole
Food vacuole
Store food
Contractile Vacuole
Pumps H2O Out
Central Vacuole
Holds H2O
Only in plants
Vesicle
membrane sacs
Cell wall
Only in plants
Additional layer of protection
Cytoplasm
Liquid surrounding organelles in a cell
Protein path
DNA in nuclear envelope
translated to mRNA
mRNA leaves through nuclear pores
meets ribot. forms peptide chains
leaves to rough ER
leaves to golgi
To lysosome
