cells Flashcards
smooth ER structure
long network of folded tube like structure
smooth ER function
synthesises hormones and lipids
rough ER structure
long network of folded tube like structure studded with ribosomes
rough ER function
protein synthesis
GA strcutre
folded membrane within cytoplasm
GA function
modification, packaging and transport of proteins and lipids
ribosomes structure
small intercellular structures
ribosomes function
-hold RNA
-synthesise proteins from amino acids
nucleolus structure
spherical structures found in nucleus
nucleolus function
-formation of RNA
-composed mostly of RNA
nucleus structure
membrane enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes
nucleus function
holds DNA
mitochondria structure
MBO
mitochondria function
provides chemical energy for the cell through aerobic cellular respiration
cytoplasm structure
gel like fluid
cytoplasm function
-fluid part off cell where chemical reactions may occur
-cell expansion, growth and replication
cell membrane structure
thin membrane around edge of cell
cell membrane function
allows for diffusion
