Cells Flashcards
plasma membrane function and structure
protection; phospholipid bilayer
cytoplasm function and structure
holds everything in place; cytosol
ribosome structure and function
synthesizing proteins; ribosomal protein and DNA
ribosome size
small in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplast; large in eukaryotes
nucleus structure and function
contains DNA/genetic info; membrane enclosed, nucleolus
nuclear membrane function and structure
protect nucleus; pores and ribosomes on surface
Rough and Smooth ER function
make proteins that are packaged and transported to the Golgi through transport vesicles
Golgi function
transport, change, and package proteins
transport vesicles function
transport molecules (proteins) around the cell
lysosome function
apoptosis; break down waste and harmful products
cytoskeleton function
maintain cell shape; hold organelles; enable cell movement
cytoskeleton structure
microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate fibers
cytoskeleton interactions
microtubules act like a path/ highway for motor proteins to transport vesicles across cell
mitochondria function
make ATP and sugars
mitochondria structure
cristae and matrix
