cells & tissues Flashcards
three main parts of the cell
plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus
centrosome
organize microtubules
cilia
moves fluid along a cells surface
flagella
moves an entire cell
ribosome
reads the messenger RNA sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins
endoplasmic reticulum
produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function
Golgi complex
modifies, sorts, packages, & transports proteins received from the rough ER
lysosome
recycle worn out cell structures
peroxisome
carrying out oxidative reactions using molecular oxygen.
proteasome
regulates proteins that control cell-cycle progression & apoptosis
mitochondrion
generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat
nucleus
store the cell’s DNA and facilitate its transcription and replication
epithelial tissue: simple squamous
lines the cardiovascular & lymphatic system
epithelial tissue: simple cuboidal
covers surface of ovaries, lines lens of the eye
epithelial tissue: simple columnar
digestive canal
