Ch 4: Organelles Flashcards
cytoplasm
gel-like residue in cells
nucleoid
contains the genetic material, only in prokaryotes
cell wall
surrounds plasma membrane, only in prokaryotes
flagella
only in prokaryotes, used for movement, one or two on the cell
capsule
encases cell wall
eukaryotes
fungi, protists, plants, and animals
nucleus
the largest organelle in the cell has genetic info, encases nucleolus which contains the mRNA
ribosomes
manufacture proteins
rough ER
ribosome studded, attached to the nucleus
smooth ER
makes lipids, hormones, and steroids
Golgi bodies
modifies and packages, packaged into vesicles, produce lysosomes.
Mitochondria
makes ATP, cristae is the inner membrane
lysosomes
digest waste using hydrolysis
centrioles
produce microtubules and move chromosomes
vacuoles
sacs
peroxisomes
breaks down hydrogen peroxide
cytoskeleton
network of fibers(microtubules and microfilaments) that determine cell structure
tubulin
participate in cellular division
Endosymbiosis
the belief that chloroplasts and mitochondria used to be independent prokaryotes, they then combined with the eukaryotic cell
