Cell Structures n Functions Flashcards
This is where glucose is broken down to start the energy making process
cytoplasm
stores glycogen and lipids
cytoplasm
Also called powerhouse of cell
mitochondria
This organelle has its own DNA and RNA and reproduces itself?
mitochondria
provides structure and is studded with ribosomes and pores
nuclear envelope
responsible for creating ribosomes; ribosomal RNA is also made here
nucleolus
contains DNA, RNA, and chromosome proteins
chromatin
What is the difference bw RER and SER?
RER - makes proteins for excretion
SER - breaks down glycogen to glucose and stores and regulates Ca2+ ion concentration
What are the four functions of SER?
- breaks down glycogen to glucose
- stores and regulates Ca2+ ion concentration
- catalyzes reactions in lipid metabolism
- detoxifies drugs
The site for protein synthesis
ribosomes
what are two types of ribosomes?
free and membrane-bound
this organelle makes vesicles to transport proteins
RER
what do lysosomes do?
digest material ingested by the cell
which organelle receives vesicles from RER?
Golgi Apparatus
Whats the difference bw cis face and trans face?
cis face - receiving side of the Golgi apparatus from RER
trans face - shipping side of the Golgi apparatus
