Cells Organelles Flashcards
Necleus ( function )
- stores the DNA of the cell
-protects it from all of the chemical reactions happening in the cytoplasm
Lysosomes (function)
- a specialized type of vessiles that breaks down waste products, found in pathogens using enzymes
Grand Vacuoles (function)
- stores materials (H2O &minerals)
Cytoskeleton (function)
-maintain cell shape
- moves cell parts
- helps cells move
Centrioles (function)
-organizes cell divisions
-Creates spindle fibers that assist in separate chromosomes during cell division
Ribosomes
- synthesizes proteins using RNA instructions
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) (function)
-has ribosomes attached to the surface of the membrane
-assists in assembling proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) (function)
- synthesizes lipids
-detoxifies drugs
Golgi Appartaus (Function)
- packages proteins & other cellular material in a membrane for transport to other parts of the cell or out of the cell (divison)
Is chloroplast in animal, plant, or both types of cells?
Only plant
Chloroplast ( function
-uses CO2 & H2O to make glucose and oxygen
- does photosynthesis
Mitochondria ( functions )
-creates ATP energy for the cell
-uses sugar & oxygen
- releases CO2 & H2O
Is the cell wall in animal cells only?
No, only in Plant cells
Cell wall ( function)
-provides support and protection to the cell
What is a cell wall made up of?
- cellulose in plant cells
-chitin in Fungal cells
