cells + organelles Flashcards
membrane- bound organelle where most of the cell’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP is produced
mitochondria
contain compounds and enzymes capable of breaking down large molecules into smaller pieces
lysosomes
sorts and packages proteins and lipids produced by the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
has ribosomes attached to its surface; it is where most protein synthesis occurs
rough ER
has no ribosomes attached; its function is mainly for lipid synthesis
smooth ER
serves as the control center of the cell; it contains the genetic material in the form of DNA
nucleus
encloses the cell, separating its contents from the surroundings
cell membrane
semifluid matrix where organelles are suspended
cytoplasm
consist of large and small subunits; protein synthesis
ribosomes
convert light energy into sugars through photosynthesis
chloroplasts
provides support and protection for the cell
cell wall
responsible for the production and storage of starch
amyloplast
responsible for storing food, water, and metabolic wastes
vacuole
