56
Q
  • Mitochondria
A

A mitochondrion (singular) or mitochondria (my-toh- KON-dree-ah) (plural) are small oblong-shaped struc- tures composed of two membranes (Figure 3-8). The outer membrane gives a mitochondrion its capsule shape; the inner membrane folds on itself to provide a surface on which the energy-releasing chemical reac- tions of the cell occur

57
Q
  • Lysosomes
A

Lysosomes
small bodies in the cytoplasm that contain
powerful digestive enzymes that enhance the break down of cellular components

58
Q
  • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
A

All cells will have a rough or granular ER. It is called rough or granular because it has ribosomes attached to it. These are the granules on the ER. Because of the attached ribosomes, the rough ER is a site of protein synthesis

59
Q
  • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
A

Occasionally, a smooth or agranular ER will be attached to a granular ER (see Figure 3-9). Structurally, the agran- ular form differs from the rough form. It does not have attached ribosomes. It also differs in function. Only cer- tain cells have the agranular or smooth ER. It is found in the cells of the gonads in which sex hormones are being synthesized. One function appears to be sex hormone synthesis. It is also found in the cells of the lacteals of the villi of the small intestine. Thus, it is also believed to be involved in the transportation of fats.

60
Q
  • Golgi Apparatus (Body)
A

Golgi body/apparatus consists of an assembly of flat sac-like cisternae that look like a stack of saucers or pancakes; used as a storage area in the cell

61
Q
  • Ribosomes
A

Ribosomes tiny granules distributed throughout the cyto- plasm where protein synthesis occurs

62
Q
  • Centrioles

pair = centrosome

A

Centrioles two centrioles make up a centrosome; they pro- duce spindle fibers during cell division

63
Q
  • Cilia
A

Cilia small hairs found on cells that function in movement of materials across the cell’s outer surface
Ciliary body consists of smooth muscles

64
Q

Flagella

A

Flagella long fibers that push a cell like the flagellum of a sperm cell

65
Q
  • Plastids (Plant Cells)
A

1There are three plastids found in plant cells. The most common and most numerous of these are the chloroplasts

66
Q
  1. Chloroplasts
A

Chloroplasts organelles found only in plant cells where pho- tosynthesis occurs; contain the pigment chlorophyll

67
Q

A

1Chromoplasts plastids in plant cells that contain the carot- enoid pigments

68
Q
  1. Leucoplasts
A

Leucoplast plastid in plant cells that contains no pigment but stores sugar or starch

69
Q

-

  • Cell Wall (Plant Cells)
A

The cell membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a semirigid covering called the cell wall made of a complex carbohydrate called cellulose (SELL-you-lohs). Cellu- lose is synthesized by Golgi bodies by linking up glucose units. Animal cells do not have cell walls. This material is what we call fiber in our diet. It cannot be digested; thus, it keeps our stools soft. We eat fruits and vegetables to maintain a balance of fiber in our diet. This fiber may help prevent the development of colon cancer.
