Organelles Flashcards
Mitochondria
Makes energy
Site of cell respiration
Ribosome
Produce protein
Lysosome
Enzymes that break down larger molecules
Nucleus
Directs all cell activity
Contains DNA
Centrioles
Found only in animal cells
Used in cell division
Cell membrane
Protective barrier
Allows transport of needed materials in and out of cell
Phospholipid bilateral
Made of phosphate and lipids
Phosphate faces outward
Lipids faces inward
Cell respiration
C6H12O6+O2=CO2+H2O+ATP(energy)
Cytoplasm
Gel like substance inside the cell membrane
Contains nutrients
Otganelles are suspended here
Endoplasmic reticulum
Series of interconnected small tubes that branch out from the nuclear envelope
Function: protein synthesis and transportation
Cell wall
Surrounds cell membrane
Only in plants
Chloroplast
Plants and photosynthetic bacteria
Contains chlorophyll therefore green
Photosynthesis site
Photosynthesis equation
H2O+CO2+energy(ATP)=C6H12O6+O2
Smooth ER
No ribosome
Lipid synthesis
Vesicles
Membrane bound sacs
Intake and storage of nutrients
Digestion
Waste removal
