Noviembre 7 P Flashcards
Is a network of proteins that is constantly changing to meet the needs of a cell
Cytoskeleton
Give the cell its shape and act as “tracks” for the movement of organelles
Microtubules
Give a cell its strength
Intermediate filaments
Are tiny threads that enable cells to move and divide
Microfilaments
Supports and and shapes the cell. Includes microtubules and microfilaments
Cytoskeleton
Is an important contributor to cell structure
Cytoplasm
Is the storehouse for most of the genetic information, or DNA , in your cells
Nucleus
Is a dense region where tiny organelles essential for making proteins are assembled
The nucleolus
Stores and protects DNA
Nucleolus
Is an interconnected network of thin folded membranes
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Tiny organelles that link amino acids together from proteins
Ribosomes
Surfaces of the ER that are covered with ribosomes
Rough ER
Surfaces of the ER that do not contain ribosomes
Smooth ER
Consists of closely layered stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces that process , sort , and deliver proteins
Golgi apparatus
Aids in the production of proteins and lipids
