Organelles Flashcards
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Smooth Er
System of membranes with no ribosomal attachment
Nucleolus
Region within the nucleus that produces ribosomes
Chromatin
Long tangled strands of DNA
Cell membrane
Serves as a selective barrier to the passage of ions and molecules
Micro filaments
Protein fibers that play a role I cell structure and motion
Chlorophyll
Green pigment in plant cells that traps energy
Endoplasmic reticulum
Extensive membrane pus structure forming a transport system
Nucleus
Control center;houses DNA
Cytoplasm
The jelly-like substance that surrounds the contents of the cell
Golgi apparatus
Membrane sacs that recurve,modify,& repackage proteins
Flagella
Whip like structure used for locomotion
Lysosomes
Contains enzymes for digestion of food cell parts and viruses and bacteria
Mitochondria
Folded membrane that produces e-storing molecules
Chloroplasts
Site where light energy is converted into chemical energy
Rough ER
System of membranes where some ribosomes are attached
Cytoskeleton
network that provides support for organelles
Cell wall
In plant a surrounds the cell membrane
Micro tubules
Hollow protein rod involved in cell contraction and transportation
Vacuoles
Fluid-filled space that stores food,wastes, and enzymes
Cilla
Tiny hair like projections specialized for locomotion
