LG 1.1 Characteristics and Evolution of Eukaryotes Flashcards
It is a membranous vesicle that has hydrolytic enzymes and are responsible for intracellular digestion cells.
Lysosome
It is surrounded by nuclear membrane and encloses cell’s DNA.
Nucleus
It is the powerhouse of the cell and are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate.
Mitochondria
It looks like disc-like sacs stacked together; it is also the warehouse of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
Damaged organelles surrounded by a double membrane which fuses with a lysosome.
Autophagy
Membrane bound organelles that play a role in lipid synthesis. It creates hydrogen peroxide.
Peroxisomes
It is a network of sacs and tubes responsible for the synthesis of membranes and metabolic processes.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
It carries protein synthesis in the cell; it is also composed of large and small sub units.
Ribosome
These are large vesicles that form off from the ER and Golgi apparatus.
Vacuoles
Possess green pigment of chlorophyll, enzymes, etc.
Chloroplasts
A network of tubes & filaments; It also functions for motility.
Cytoskeleton
It is a structure involved in the production of ribosomes.
Nucleolus
It is the DNA organized inside the nucleus.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid
A nucleus is enclosed by a _____.
Nuclear Envelope
These are sub units of the ribosome that assembles amino molecules to proteins.
Large and Small
It is part of the ER that releases enzymes and are important in the synthesis of lipids, metabolism, detoxification of drugs and poison.
Smooth ER
It is part of the ER that secretes proteins produced by the ribosomes attached to its membranes.
Rough ER
These are parts of the vacuole that carries food obtained through phagocytosis.
Food Vacuoles
These pump excess water out of the cell (usually found in freshwater protists).
Contractile Vacuoles
These are part of the cytoskeleton that works in processes such as: cytoplasmic streaming, temporary extensions and formation of the cleavage furrow.
Microfilaments
Main components of flagella and cilia in eukaryotic cells.
Microtubules
The microtubule organizing centers of the cell.
Centrosomes
They help maintain the position of the nucleus and form nuclear lamina.
Intermediate filaments
These are flattened interconnected sacs which are stacked like poker chips.
Thylakoids
These are fluid that surrounds thylakoid and contains chloroplast DNA, ribosomes and enzymes.
Stroma
