Cells Flashcards
Which organelle’s function is to create rRNA
Nucleolus
What does the nucleolus send to the ribosomes to make proteins
mRNA
What surrounds the nucleus
Nuclear envelope
What allows things to go into and out of the nucleus
Nuclear Pores
Function of the rough ER
Production of proteins
Transports proteins using vesicles
What is the function of the smooth ER
2
Produce lipids (all types) including cholesterol and hormones
Detoxification
Where does the rough ER send proteins encased in vesicles?
Golgi body
The function of this organelle is to produce lipids, cholesterol, and hormones
Smooth ER
The function of this organelle is to recieve and modify proteins, by adding lipids and carbs.
Also, protein folding.
Golgi body
This is the organelle which has the site of Cellular respiración
Mitochondria
Mitochondria has its own DNA different from the cells.
True or False
True
What maintains the shape of the cell
Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton consists of 3 fibers
Microtubules
Microfilaments
Intermediate filaments
Which fiber that makes up the cytoskeleton is the largest, made of tubulin, and gives structural support and transportation?
Microtubules
Which fiber that makes up the cytoskeleton is the smallest, made of actin, and is concerned with elongation and contraction?
Microfilaments
Which fiber that makes up the cytoskeleton provides mechanical support?
Intermediate filaments
This organelle is active during cell division and form the mitotic spindle which consists of Microtubules
Centrioles
What is the difference between cilia amd flagella?
Cilia surrounds the whole cell in tiny hair-lkke structures
Flagella is a whip like structure at the end ( Sperm)
Both used in Locomotion
Which organelle stores water and nutrients in a plant cell?
Vacuole
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis and contains a green pigment called chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
This organelle is responsible for turgid pressure
Vacuole
