Eukaryoric Cells and Organelles Flashcards
function of cell-surface membrane
regulate the movement of substances in and out the cell, also have receptors which allow them to respond to chemicals like hormones
aspects of the nucleus
nuclear envelope, chromatin, nucleolus and nuclear pore
function of the nucleus
controls cell activity
contains genetic material
DNA contains instructions to make proteins
Pores allow substances to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
Nucleolus makes ribosomes
function of mitochondria
Site of aerobic respiration which produces ATP. Mitochondria are found in a large number of cells that are very active and require a lot of energy
function of chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis
golgi apparatus
it processes and packages new lipids and proteins. Also makes lysosomes
golgi vesicles
stores lipids and proteins made by the golgi apparatus and transports them out of the cell
function of lysosomes
contains digestive enzymes called lysozymes, kept away from cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane. can be used to digest invading cells or break down worn out components of the cell
function of ribosomes
the site where proteins are made
function of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
folds and processes proteins that have been made at the ribosomes
function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
synthesis and processes lipids
function of the cell wall
function of the cell wall supports cell and prevents them from changing shape
function of the cell vacuole
helps to maintain pressure inside the cell and keep the cell rigid. This stops plants from wilting. Also involves isolating unwanted chemicals inside the cell
