Eukaryotic Cells- Animal Flashcards
Flagellum
motility structure present in some animal cells, composed mostly of microtubials
Centrosome
region where the cells microtubels form controls with collect in a ring which is the centrosome
Cytoskeleton
reinforces the shape of the cell. Functions in cell movement. Components are made of protein. Include microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubeals.
Microvilli
projections that increase the cells surface area
Peroxisome
organelle with various metabolic functions; produces hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct as a byproduct and then converts it to water.
Mitochondrion
organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated
Lysosome
digestive organelle were macromolecules are hydrolyzed
Golgi Apparatus
organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cells products.
Ribosome
complexes that are either free in cytosole or are attached to rough ER or nuclear envelope. They make proteins.
Plasma Membrane
membrane enclosing the cell. Semipermeable
Chromatin
material consisting or DNA and proteins; visible in a dividing cell as individual condensed chromosomes
Nucleolus
non membrane structure involved in the production of ribosomes; a nucleus has at least one
Nuclear Envelope
double membrane enclosing the nucleus; perforated by pores, continuous with ER
