cells test Flashcards
plasma membrane
outer part of cell, double layered, phospholipids, regulates substances in and out of cell
Nucleus
control center, DNA, Chromosomes, nucleolus
Ribosomes
protein synthesis, round composed of RNA & proteins, free or attached to ER
ER
connects nucleus to cytoplasm
rough ER
contains ribosomes, proteins moved into plasma membrane
smooth ER
no ribosomes, makes lipids, hormones, & steroids, breaks down chemicals
Golgi appartatus
manufactures, packages, sorts, and ships cell secretions, package in vacuoles, produce lysosomes
Mitochondria
powerhouse, convert energy from organic molecules into energy for cell (ATP), cell respiration
Lysosomes
carry digestive & hydrolytic enzymes, breakdown organelles, cleanup
Centrioles
found in MTOC’s, cellular division, produce microtubules in animal cells
Vacuoles
fluid filled sacs store water, food, wastes, etc
Peroxisomes
detoxify substances, produce H2O2, breakdown into H2O2, built from proteins and lipids in cytosol
Cytoskeleton
holds cell together w microtubules & microfilaments, 9 sets
Microtubules
protein tubulin-cell division, cilia, flagella, centrioles
Cilia & Flagella
threadlike locomotive in singe celled organisms, 9+2 arrangement
