macro molecules Flashcards
cell wall
provide structural strength and support and provide a semi-permeable surface for molecules to pass in and out of the cell.
Central Vacuole
a storage space for water and other molecules in the cell.
Centrioles
organizing microtubules that serve as the cell’s skeletal system.
Chloroplast
produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield
Cytoplasm
holding the components of the cell and protects them from damage.
Golgi Apparatus
transport, sorting and modification of both protein and lipid
Lysosomes
to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
Mitochondria
produce the energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning
Nucleus
the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center
Nucleolus
produce and assemble the cell’s ribosomes.
Ribosomes
the cellular machinery responsible for making proteins
Rouge ER
a cellular organelle composed of many folds of tissues and channels. It provides surface area for chemical reactions to take place
Smooth ER
an organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells. An organelle is a sub-unit within a cell that has a specialized function. The main function of the smooth ER is to make cellular products like hormones and lipids
