Cell ultra structure Flashcards
Ribosomes
Attached to ER or found free in the cytosol.
The site in the cell where proteins are made.
Found in plant and animal cells
Mitochondrian
Cytoplasm
Production of ATP, energy compound for cells.
Found in both plant and animal cells
Golgi apparatus
Found in the cytoplasm
Exporting substances out of cells.
Found in plant and animal cells
Endoplasmic reticulum
Found in the cytoplasm
Interconnected system of membrane enclosed flattened channels.
Found in plant and animal cells
Chloroplast
Cytoplasm
Contains chlorophyll and uses the energy of sunlight to build organic molecules from carbon dioxide.
Found only in plant cells
Lysosome
Found in the cytoplasm
Contains digestive enzymes that break down organic molecules, break down waste.
Found in plant and animal cells
Nucleus and nucleolus
Cytoplasm, found in plant and animal cells
Controls genetic material and metabolic activities of a cell by regulating which genes are expressed
Centrioles
Cytoplasm, found only in animal cells
Helps with cell division and forming spindle like fibres that separate the chromosomes during mitosis.
Cilia and flagella
Enclosed in a thin extension of the plasma membrane
Movement of an organism or fluids.
Found only in animal cells
Cytoskeleton
Throughout the inside of the cell, found in plant and animal cells
Determines the shape of the cell and gives it structure and support.
Cellulose cell wall
Surrounds the cell, found only in plant cells
Provides shape, strength, protection and helps the cell develop structural integrity.
Plastids
Cytoplasm, only in plant cells
Site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell
Vacuole
Cytoplasm, found in plant and animal cells
Storage bubbles which store food/nutrients as well as waste products to keep the rest of the cell free from contamination
Plasma membrane
Surrounding the cell
A selective barrier that regulates movement of substances into and out of the cell. Found in plant and animal cells
