Module 1.1 Eukaryote Parts Flashcards
contains all the genetic material called DNA in a cell
Nucleus
a double membrane enclosing the nucleus
perforated by pores which permit the entry and exit of some molecules.
Nucleolus
Chromatin
synthesize all the proteins
manufacturing department of the cell
Ribosomes
a network of flattened, membrane bound sacs and tubes
production, processing, and transport of proteins
assembly line of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
kinds of endoplasmic reticulum (2)
has ribosomes attached
protein production, protein folding, quality control and dispatch.
does not have ribosomes attached, production
and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones
Rough ER
Smooth ER
receives proteins from the ER and folds, sorts, and packages these proteins into vesicles
shipping department of the cell
synthesis, modification , sorting and secretion
Golgi apparatus
vesicles that contain digestive enzymes
metabolism and transport of large molecules that cannot cross the membrane
waste disposal/recycling department of the cell.
Lysosomes
energy-producing organelles
where the process of cellular respiration happens
the powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
gel-like liquid contained within cells
Cytoplasm
network of filaments and tubules found throughout the cytoplasm of the cell. It gives the cell shape, provides strength, stabilizes tissues, anchors organelles
Cytoskeleton
Types of Skeletal Filaments: (3)
Microfilaments
Microtubules
Intermediate Filaments
surrounds the entire cell and separates its components from the outer environment. The cell membrane is a double layer made up of phospholipids
Cell Membrane
pass through easily the Cell Membrane
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
organelle with various specialized metabolic functions and produces hydrogen peroxide as a by-product, the converts it to water.
Peroxisome
projections that increase the cell’s surface area
Microvilli
