Eukaryotic cell (plant/animal cell) Flashcards
Nucleus
contains DNA, regulates and controls cell activity
circular, contains pores and chromatin
Cytoplasm
where chemical reactions take place
aqueous solution or colloidal suspension
cell membrane
controls what goes in and out of the cell
found on the surface of animal cells and below the cell wall
mitochondria
gives cell energy and site for respiration, produces most of the ATP in the cell
ribosomes
where protein synthesis happens
found attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or free in the cytoplasm
nucleolus
makes RNA and ribosomes
dense spherical structure in the middle of the nucleus
vesicles
transport vesicles are used to transport materials inside the cell and secretory vesicles transport proteins
small membrane bounce sacs with fluid inside
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
responsible for synthesis and transport of lipids and carbs
network of membrane bound sacs called cisternae no ribosomes
rough endoplasmic reticulum
protein synthesis takes place on the ribosomes and the newly synthesised proteins
network of membrane bound flattened sacs called cisternae with ribosomes
golgi apparatus
newly made proteins are received here from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. modifies them and then packages proteins into vesicles
a stack of membrane bound flattened sacs
lysomes
break down waste material including old organelles
small spherical membrane bound sacs containing hydrolytic enzymes
80S ribosomes
protein synthesis occurs here
attached to the rough ER
centriole
they form spindle fibres during cell division
small tubes of protein fibres
tonoplast
selectively permeable to allow small molecules to pass through
partially permeable membrane of the vacuole
amyloplast
responsible for synthesis and storage of starch granules
double membrane bound sac containing starch granules
