Function Of Cell Parts Flashcards
Serves as the bounty of the cell; protein and carbohydrate molecules on the outer surface.
Plasma membrane
Synthesizes proteins: the protein factory.
Ribosomes
Rough ER: receive d and transports synthesized protein.
Smooth ER: synthesized lipids and certain carbohydrates.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Chemically processes, then packages substance from the ER.
Golgi apparatus
The powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
A cell’s digestive bag it breaks apart large molecules.
Lysosome
Organizes microtubules of the cytoskeleton.
Centrosome
Help organize and move chromosomes during cell reproduction
Centrioles
Microvili
Increases surface area of plasma membrane for efficiency of absorption
Sensory antennae to detect conditions outside the cell.
Cilia
The tail of a sperm cell.
Flagellum
Contains DNA, which contains synthesis. Transport, metabolism, growth and heredity.
Nucleus
Makes subunits that form ribosomes
Nucleolus
