cells Flashcards
cell wall (2)
- surrounds and supports cell
- gives structure
cell membrane (2)
- semipermeable
- layer of protein
cytoplasm (2)
- jelly like
- contains organelles
ribosome (1)
-site for protein production
vacuole (2)
- membrane bound
- gives cell structure
rough endoplasmic reticulum (3)
- transports material through cell
- produces protein
- covered in ribosomes
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (2)
- transports materials through cell
- produces and digests lipids and membrane proteins
chloroplast (2)
- contains chlorophyll
- site of photosynthesis
mitochondrion (2)
- has double membrane
- converts energy into glucose into atp
ATP (2)
- adenosine triphosphate
- high energy molecule used for energy storage
nucleus (2)
- controls functions of cell
- contains dna in the form of chromosones
nucleolus (2)
- smaller part of nucleus
- produces ribosomal RNA
amyloplasts (2)
- stores starch
- mainly found in starchy plants (tubers, fruits)
golgi (body) (long 1)
-packs protein and carbs into membrane bound vesicles for export of the cell
centrosome (4)
- “microtubule organizing centre”
- dense centre (centriole) and radiating tubules
- produces microtubules
