Organelles Flashcards
Nucleus
The control center of the cell
46 chromosomes
“The brain”
Cell Membrane
Selectively permeable made up of lipids and proteins, phospholipid bi layer
Hydrophobic- tails (non polar)
Hydrophilic- heads (polar)
Mitochondria
ATP synthesis the way the cell obtains energy
Lysosomes
Ingests old organelles, enzymes break it down
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Transports materials through the cell
Rough ER- transports ribosomes to make proteins
Smooth ER- transports hormones
Golgi Bodies
Packages and modifies proteins
Vesicle
Carries the modified and packaged proteins has phospholipids
Vacuole
Store food and water
Ribosome
Protein synthesis transport
Cytoplasm
Holds cells
Centrioles
Separate chromosome pairs during mitosis
Nucleolus
Condensed region where ribosomes are formed
