Lecture 6: Cells and Tissues cont. Flashcards
Organelles
Parts of cell that perform functions
Cytosol
Liquid portion of cell
Microfilaments
Inner framework
Intermediate filaments
Stabilize position of organelles
Microtubules
Help w/cell division, move vesicles
Centrioles
2, involved with cell division
Cilia and flagella
Made up of micro tubules and allow for movement
rRNA
Involved with protein synthesis
Rough ER
Has ribosomes, protein synthesis
Smooth ER
No ribosomes, makes steroids and fatty acids
Golgi apparatus
Receives, sorts and ships proteins
Membrane vesicles
Insert things into membrane
Transport vesicles
Move things around cell
Lysosomes
Very acidic inside, have enzymes. Carry out intracellular digestion.
Oxidase
Oxidation of amino acids and fatty acids (removal of H+)
