Ch 6 Cell quiz Flashcards
Nucleus
command center, signals organelles and monitors inside and outside of cell
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Does not have ribosomes, makes lipids
Flagellum
Used for movement
Centriole
Anchor for cytoskeleton
Lysosome
Contains enzymes that will break down molecules, if it breaks the cell dies
Ribosome
Can be in cytoplasm or in rough endoplasmic reticulum, make proteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Has ribosomes, makes proteins
Golgi apparatus
AKA golgi body, it refines and repackages molecules for export
Plasma membrane
Gatekeeper, allows certain things in, if recognized
Vesicle
move molecules within the cell, includes lysosomes
Vacuole
Storage container
Mitochondria
Makes ATP, is the powerhouse
Microfilament
Solid rods that give support to the structure
Microtubule
Hollow rods, act as a highway
Central vacuole
only in plants, very large vacuole, to store water and salt
Chloroplast
only in plants, photosynthetic engine of the cell, allows for photosynthesis, has own DNA to self-replicate
cell wall
only in plants, for structural support, made of cellulose
cytoskeleton
Includes microfilaments and microtubes, provides support and movement
