Module 2 - Cell Structure Flashcards
What are the two types of cells
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
What is a eukaryote
Membrane bound organelle
Function of cytoplasm
Where metabolism takes place and other chemical reactions
Function of Nucleus
Contains the information of form DNA moles
DNA directs protein synthesis
DNA contained within nuclear envelope for protection
Nuclear pores which allow stuff to move however DNA is too big so it is transcribed into tRNA
Function of Nucleous
Contains rRNA which combines with proteins to form form ribosomes which are necessary for protein synthesis
Function of cillia
Keeps airways clear
Sensory organ for detecting chemical changes
Function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Lipid and carbohydrates storage and synthesis
Function of rough endoplasmic reticulum
Transport and synthesis of proteins
Function of ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Function Golgi apparatus
Package and modify proteins into vesicles
Function of Mitochondria
Site is the final stage of respiration For energy (has energy stored in its bonds which when the bonds break release energy)
What is the matrix
Fluid found between the inner membrane of a mitochondria
Function of vesicles
For storage and transport
