Organelle Functions Flashcards
1
Q
Provides form to cell and controls passage of materials into and out of the cell
A
Cell (plasma) membrane
2
Q
Gel-like material inside cell through which materials diffuse
A
Cytosol
3
Q
Cytosol and organelles
A
Cytoplasm
4
Q
- directs cell activity
- contains DNA and RNA
- controls metabolism
- stores/processes info
- controls protein synthesis
A
Nucleus
5
Q
Dense area found within nucleus — forms nucleus
A
Nucleolus
6
Q
- powerhouse of the cell
* produces ATP — provides energy for cellular metabolism
A
Mitochondria
7
Q
- flattened channels
- canal-like structures found throughout cytosol
- provides transport of substances
- synthesizes proteins
A
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
8
Q
- contains no ribosomes
* lipid and carbohydrate synthesis
A
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
9
Q
Site of protein synthesis
A
Ribosomes
10
Q
- flattened sacs with vacuoles
- synthesizes carbs
- packages molecules for secretion
A
Golgi Apparatus
11
Q
- contains digestive enzymes that break down damaged cell parts
- ”suicide bags” due to lysosome ruptures within cell, they destroy it
A
Lysosomes
12
Q
- vesicles containing enzymes that degrade and neutralize toxic compounds
- smaller than lysosomes
A
Peroxisomes
13
Q
- short
* extensions of cell — move materials over cell surface
A
Cilia
14
Q
- long
* extensions of cell which provide movement for sperm
A
Flagella
15
Q
- hollow
- slender
- cylindrical
- provide strength and support
- assist in movement of cell structure and material
A
Microtubules
