CELLS PT2 Flashcards
Structure: This can be seen between the plasma membrane and the nucleus where the other cellular elements are embedded.
CYTOPLASM
Function: It is responsible for various cellular processes.
CYTOPLASM
are membrane-bound structures which carry out specific metabolic activities of the cell.
ORGANELLES
provides support for organelles and serves as the viscous fluid medium.
CYTOSOL
Structure: Extensive interconnected membrane network that varies in shape; ribosomes attached on the cytoplasmic surfaces
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
are involved in the protein synthesis.
RIBOSOMES
Functions: Modifies, transports, and stores proteins produces by attached ribosomes
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Structure: Extensive interconnected membrane network lacking ribosomes
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Function: Synthesizes, transports, and stores lipids; detoxifies drugs; forms vesicles and peroxisomes
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Functions: Modifies, packages, and sorts materials, that arrive from the endoplasmic reticulum in transport vesicles
GOLGI APPARATUS
Structure: Series of several elongated, flattened saclike membranous structures.
GOLGI APPARATUS
transport cellular material.
VEISCLES
Mature vesicles are called
SECRETORY VESICLES
Structure: Double-membrane-bound organelles containing a circular strand of DNA
MITOCHONDRIA
is highly permeable to small molecules
