organelles Flashcards
mitochondria
highly folded inner membrane surrounded by the second outer membrane
site of aerobic cellular respiration (produces ATP)
golgi body
stacked flattened sacs that are the sites of protein sorting, packaging and modification
nucleus
is surrounded by a double membrane
protects the DNA of the cell
inside the nucleus is a smaller structure called a nucleolus (site of ribosome production)
rough endoplasmic reticulum
a membranous chain of connected and flattened sacs which are coated with ribosomes
synthesising and modifies proteins
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
a membranous chain of connected and flattened sacs that is NOT coated with ribosomes
responsible for production of lipids
chloroplast
a double membrane-bound organelle that contains flattened, fluid-filled sacs
is the site of photosynthesis
cell wall
a sturdy border outside the plasma membrane outside plasma membrane that provides strength and structure the plant
large vacuole
a membrane-bound sac that is used for water and solute storage
maintains plant cell structure
ribosome
tiny structures made of rRNA and proteins
freely float in cytoplasm or attached to rough ER
building blocks to make proteins
lysosome
membrane bound vesicle containing digestive enzymes
plasma membrane
a selectively permeable barrier between the intracellular and extracellular fluid, made of a phospholipid bilayer
