organelles Flashcards
_______ found inside a cell
compartment
plasma membrane-
a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded to separate the internal contents of the cell from the outside
cytoplasm-
region between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope
nucleus-
keeps the dna safe and directs the making of ribosomes and proteins
nuclear envelope
double-membrane structure that makes up the outermost portion of the nucleus
ribosomes
create protein. tiny spots found on the endoplasmic reticulum
mitochondria
make ATP (energy that allows the cell to function)
peroxisomes
carry out oxidation reactions that break down fatty and amino acids
vesicles and vacuoles
membrane bound sacs that function in storage and transport. vacuoles are larger
centrosome
microtubule-organizing center (animal cell)
lysosome-
cell’s garbage disposal (animal cell)
cell wall
rigid covering protecting the plant cell
chloroplasts-
carry out photosynthesis in the plant cell
chlorophyll
drives the reaction of photosynthesis
endoplasmic reticulum
modify protein (rough er) and create lipids (smooth er)
