Cells Flashcards
has 3 parts-nuclear envelop, nucleolus, and chromatin
Nucleus
membranous sacs and tubes that packages and transports proteins into vesicles that can move out of the cell- folds and transports other proteins to golgi apparatus
Has smooth and rough regions-sites of protein synthesis
What is the ER
found only in animal cells
aid in cell mobility
What are flagella
area of cell where microtubules begin to be formed
What is a centrosome
animal cell: made up of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
plant cell: made up of only microfilaments and microtubules
both reinforce cell shape and aid in cell movement
What is a cytoskeleton
found only in animal cells
protrusions in cell membrane the increase surface area
functions: absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion
What are microvilli
contains enzymes involved in cells metabolic functions
What is peroxisome
aerobic cellular respiration takes place here
ATP is generated here
Mitochondria
responsible for digestion and can hydrolyze macromolecules
lysosome
responsible for composition, modification, organization, and secretion of cell products
golgi apparatus
bound to rough ER or in cytosol
manufacture proteins within cell
ribosome
found only in plant cells
cytoplasmic channels or tunnels that go through cell wall and connect cytoplasm of adjacent cells
plasmodesmata
found only in plants
responsible for photosynthesis
what is a chloroplast
found only in plant cells
stores material and waste
what is a central vacuole
phospholipid bilayer that encloses the cell
plasma membrane
