Cell Structures Flashcards
Stuff inside cell, provides environment for cell function
Cytoplasm
Protection, surrounds cell, separates cell from environment
Plasma membrane
Suspended in cytoplasm or attached to ER, protein factories
Ribosomes
Package and ship out of cell (saliva, sweat) assists cell in production of secretions
FedEx
Golgi apparatus
Chemical lab, full of enzymes, solid matter sanitation center
Lysosomes
Chemical lab, liquid matter sanitation team (liver cells detoxify alcohol, medications)
Peroxisomes
ATP producer, Power House
Mitochondria
Function necessary for continuation of life, replication
Nucleus
Some protein productions, quality control and despatch, rough because it’s studded with ribosome
Rough ER
Production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones, associated with smooth slippery fats help builds cell membrane
Smooth ER
