Human Cell Structure Flashcards
Nucleus
Separate DNA from cell processes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Protein synthesis and modification
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lipid synthesis and calcium storage
Golgi Apparatus
Packages and ships synthesized proteins and lipids
Mitochondria
Synthesizes ATP
Peroxisome
Contains detoxifying chemicals
Lysosome
Contains digesting chemicals
Centrioles
Regulate cell movement and mitosis
Cytoskeleton
Provide support, and play a role in movement
Cell membrane (Plasma membrane)
regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.
Chromatin
to compress the DNA into a compact unit
Chromatin
to compress the DNA into a compact unit
Cytoplasm
shaping, holding the components of the cell, and protects them from damage
Cytoskeleton filaments
give the cell its shape and help organize the cell’s parts. In addition, they provide a basis for movement and cell division
Golgi vesicle
sorts many of the cell’s proteins and membrane constituents, and directs them to their proper destinations
