Eukaryotic Cells Flashcards
Nucleus parts
Double nuclear membrane, nuclear pores, chromatin, dense chromatin
Nucleus function
Contains the chromosomes consisting of DNA, then DNA is replicated and transcribed to form mRNA
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum parts
Ribosomes, cisterna
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum function
Synthesize protein for secretion from the cell, move proteins to golgi apparatus
Golgi Apparatus parts
Cisterna, vesicles
Golgi Apparatus function
Processes proteins brought in vesicles from the ER and sends them to the plasma membrane, processes proteins by folding them into more complex structures
Lysosome parts
Digestive enzymes, lysosome membrane
Lysosome function
Break down ingested food or parts of the cell
Mitochondrion parts
Inner membrane, outer membrane, crista, matrix
Mitochondrion function
Produce ATP by aerobic cell respiration
Free Ribosomes
Synthesize proteins - are constructed in the nucleolus
Chloroplast parts
Starch grain, stroma, double membrane, thylakoid stacks
Vesicles and vacuoles
Transport and digestion: formed from Golgi vesicles
Microtubules
Moving chromosomes during cell division
Centrioles
Animal cells - form an anchor point for mictrotubules
