Cells Flashcards
Nuclear pore
Passageway for molecules into and out of the nucleus
Nucleus
Area where most of the genetic material is organized and expressed.
Centrosome
Site where microtubules grow and centrioles are found
Rough ER
Site of protein sorting and secretion
Smooth ER
Site of detoxification and lipid synthesis
Mitochondrion
Site of ATP synthesis
Cytoskeleton
Protein filaments that provide shape and aid in movement
Peroxisome
Site where hydrogen peroxide and other harmful molecules are broken down
Golgi apparatus
Site of modification, sorting, and secretion of lipids an proteins
Cytosol aka cytoplasm
Site of many metabolic pathways
Plasma membrane
Membrane that controls movement of substances into and out of the cell; site of cell signaling
Ribosom
Site of polypeptide synthesis
Lysosome
Site where macromolecules are degraded
Nuclear envelope
Double membrane that encloses the nucleus
Nucleolus
Site for ribosome subunit assembly
Chromatin
A complex of protein and DNA
Central vacuole
Site that provides storage; regulation of cell volume. (Water)
Chloroplast
Site of photo synthesis
Cytoskeleton is the network of which three types of protein filaments
Microtubules, intermediate filaments, and actin filaments
Translation
The process of polypeptide synthesis
Cells move by either
Flagellum or cilia
Cilia have what type of arrangement
9 + 2
