Cell Structure and Functions Flashcards
It is a membrane-bound structure within the cell.
Organelle
Its membrane is similar with the cell’s lipid membrane that holds all the cell’s components.
Organelle
What are the 8 cell organelles?
- Cell Membrane
- Nucleus
- Mitochondria
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Golgi Body
- Lysosomes
- Chloroplast
- Cytoskeleton
It is a biological bilayer membrane composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Cell Membrane
It separates the cell from the external environment and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
It is the most prominent structure within the cell.
Nucleus
It houses the cell’s genetic information, DNA, within its double membrane structure.
Nucleus
This structure also controls the growth and reproduction of cells.
Nucleus
It is the powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
It is responsible for the conversion of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
It is the energy source of all cellular functions and processes.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
It is responsible for synthesizing major cellular components.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
It synthesizes and modifies proteins that are transported outside the cell or into the plasma membrane.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
It synthesizes lipids and steroids which are major components of the cell membrane.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
It is an organelle of stack membrane disks (cisternae) that packs proteins from the RER into small spheres of phospholipids (vesicles) and secretes them from the cell.
Golgi Body
