Midterm Flashcards
Nucleus
Contains DNA
Chromatin
Substance within chromosomes consisting of DNA
Cytoplasm
Consists of cytosol and organelles
Cytosol
Intracellular fluid
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Helps make and Dispatch of proteins
Golgi apparatus
Transports and modifies proteins in eukaryotic cells.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids.
Mitochondrion
Makes ATP through cellular respiration
Free ribosomes
Makes protein for use inside the cell
Fixed ribosomes
Makes protein to be shipped out of the cell
Lysosome
Digestive system of the cell, breaks down old organelles
Peroxisome
Oxidative reactions, detox, metabolism, signaling
Nuclear membrane with pores
RNA transport, enables content to flow in and out of the nucleus.
Centrosomes with centrioles
Microtubule organizing center
Cytoskeleton
Maintain shape, internal organization
Nucleolus
Produces ribosomes
Transport vesicles
Transports proteins from rough Endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus
Secretory vesicles
Golgi apparatus packages to exit the cell
Cell membrane
Provides protection, controls what comes in and out of the cell
Vacuole
Long-term storage
Fovea capitis
Attachment of ligament with blood vessels that helps hold the femur and it socket
