Organelle Quiz Flashcards
Mitochondria
Where ATP is created. The powerhouse of the cell.
Taste like double-fried chicken: the membrane is fat and inside proteins.
Plasma Membrane
helps the cell maintain homeostasis by keeping the internal environment in equilibrium.
Made/Taste like fat
SER
store and regulate calcium ions, and breaks glycogen down into glucose.
Taste like sugar and fat - donut
Centrioles
Creates and organizes the microtubules and aids to cell division
Taste like chicken, made of protein
Ribosome
This enzyme is the site where amino acids are attached by tRNA and meet with mRNA to form a protein
Taste like chicken
Microtubules
Provides structure and shape to the cell, and helps push the cell apart during cell division
Made of protein, tastes like chicken
Lysosomes
Filled with digestive enzymes, recycles garbage and broken proteins
Golgi Apparatus
Packages, and ships proteins to the cell wall through transport vesicles. Makes lysosome vesicles.
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
Made of proteins
RER
The site where proteins can be made, where proteins are injected to start their initial folding sequence as they are shuttled into vesicles for transport
Outside fat and inside protein, taste like fried chicken
Nucleus
Where mRNA and tRNA are made, where DNA divides, and where DNA and nucleotides are stored.
What attaches to the ribosome?
mRNA
What is a ribosome?
Enzyme
What happens to the structure of the protein after it’s made into a ribosome?
folding
What is inside a lysosome and where was it made?
Enzymes (acids), created at the trans face of Golgi
Why are the nucleus, RER, and Gogli adjacent to one another?
For efficient protein synthesis
Where is the tRNA and what is its function?
In cytoplasm; carry amino acids to ribosomes
What is the ribosome, RER, mRNA, Gogli, Vesicle, and Cell Membrane comprised of?
Protein
Vesicle
Protein Transporter
