Organelles Flashcards
Cell Organelle Functions
ALLOWS THE CELL TO RECEIVE AND RESPOND TO MESSAGES
Cell Membrane
CONTROLS MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES INTO/OUT OF CELLS
Cell Membrane
SEPARATES THE CELL FROM ITS ENVIRONMENT
Cell Membrane
“SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE”
Cell Membrane
CYTOSKELETON – (“CELL SKELETON”) – PROTEIN RODS AND TUBULES THAT FORM A SUPPORTIVE FRAMEWORK
Cytoplasm
CYTOSOL – (“CELL SOLUTION”) – PROVIDES THE MOLECULES NEEDED FOR CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Cytoplasm
PRODUCES PROTEINS FOR USE AT THE CELL MEMBRANE OR FOR EXPORT FROM THE CELL
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
SYNTHESIS AND METABOLISM OF LIPIDS
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
ABSORPTION OF FATS FROM THE DIGESTIVE TRACT
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
BREAKS DOWN DRUGS AND ALCOHOL = DETOXIFICATION
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ca2+ ION STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
(SCATTERED THROUGH THE CYTOPLASM) – PRODUCES
PROTEINS FOR USE INSIDE THE CELL
“Bound” Ribosomes
REFINES, PACKAGES (IN VESICLES), AND DELIVERS ORGANIC MOLECULES
Golgi Apparatus
PRODUCES SPECIALIZED VESICLES CALLED LYSOSOMES AND PEROXISOMES
Golgi Apparatus
THE “POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL;”
Mitochondria
