Organelles Flashcards
Microfilament
Role in cell structure & function
Mitochondria
Produces energy
Lysosomes
Destroys worn out organelles
Golgi apparatus
Cell organelle contains digestive enzyme
Rough ER
Proteins that are later imported from the cell
Microtubules
One of the small tubular fibers composed of the protein tubular that are found in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell play role in structure & movement
Cell membrane
Covers a cell surface & acts as a barrier between the inside and outside of a cell
Ribosomes
Helps assemble and build proteins
Nucleus
Contains all DNA in a cell
Smooth ER
A membrane network within cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular material
Nuclear pore
Serve as pathways for exchange of material between nucleus & cytoplasm
Nuclear envelope
Stores genetic info
Cell wall
Protects the body takes nutrients for the cell lets waste
Flagellum
Helps the cell move on place to another
Outer membrane
Protects the gram negative bacteria against a harsh environment
Pili
Protect the cells surface & helps in adhesion to other surfaces
Prokaryotes
Lacks membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Peptidoglycan
A polymer found in the cell walls of prokaryotes that consists of polysaccharide and peptide chains in a strong molecular network.
Cristae
Contains proteins that carry out energy
Nucleolus
Site where DNA is a concentrated process of ribosomal RNA
Inner membrane
Has many folds (especially in mitochondria)
Thylalads
Absorbs lights and captures energy
Chloroplasts
Makes food by absorbing light and using its energy
Eukaryotic
Has a cell membrane,nucleus, membrane bound organelles, DNA, ribosomes, plants, bacteria, and fungi (Protists too)
