Q

has no attached ribosomes

26
Q
  • a cup-shaped organelle which is located near the nucleus in many cell;
  • consists of a set of cisternae (i.e, closed fluid-filled flattened membranous sacs or vesicles
A

Golgi Apparatus

27
Q
  • small particles which may be free floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER
  • play an important role in the synthesis of protein
    may exist either in the free state in the cytosol or attached to RER
28
Q

Structure where most of the cellular energy is produced in the form of ATP

A

Mitochondria

29
Q
  • plastids in plant cell which contain chlorophyll and serve as the photosynthetic factory of the plants
  • both mitochondria and this organelle are found in plants, algae and some protozoans
  • they also posses their own genomic DNA which are circular and are not complexed with proteins unlike the nuclear genome
A

Chloroplast

30
Q
  • unlike organelles, not bound by membranes to separate it from the surrounding cytosol
  • found in most animals and lower plant cells
  • consists of two cylindrical structures called centrioles
A

Centrosome

31
Q
  • hollow tubes of dynamic protein polymers composed of subunits that contain 1 mol of α tubulin and 1 mol of β tubulin;
  • extend and retract to provide shape and structure to eukaryotic cell
  • they form the network that internal components move along to their proper destination within the cell
A

Microtubule

32
Q
  • attach to chromosomes during the early stages of mitosis and meiosis are also composed of microtubules
  • Produced by centrioles
  • Thus, centrosome is essential for the correct formation of spindle fibers and the proper movement of eukaryotic chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
A

Spindle Fibers

33
Q
  • the dark staining body within the cytoplasm
  • contains the primary genome of the cell which is organized as linear, double-stranded DNA that is complexed w/ protein(nucleoprotein)
  • primary director of cellular activity and inheritance
34
Q

comprises two nuclear membranes- inner nuclear membrane which is lined by nuclear lamina and an outer nuclear membrane which is continuous with RER

A

Nuclear Envelope

35
Q
  • 1 or more spherical bodies may be found attached to specific chromosome regions
  • the site where ribosomes are manufactured; where ribosomal DNA transcribes most of rRNA molecules
A

Nucleoli/Nucleolus
