Organelles Flashcards
ribosome
involved in synthesizing proteins from amino acids
where are ribosomes found
the rough ER
golgi complex
involove in synthesizing material such as proteins that are transported out of the cell
vacuoles
sacs used for storage, digestion and waste removal
vesicle
moving materials within the cell
cytoskeleton
consists of microtubules that help shape and support the cell
microtubules
part of the cytoskeleton and help to support the cell
cytosol
liquid material in the cell mostly water
cytoplasm
cytosol + organelles found within the plasma membrane
cell membrane
acts as a barrier, determines what is allowed to enter and exit
edoplasmic reticulum
rough- has ribosomes smooth - no ribosomes
is the transport system of a cell, extends through the cytoplasm to the cell membrane
mitochondrion
make ATP, also helps in cell growth and death, have their own DNA
4 functions of mitochondria
production of cell energy, cell signaling, cellular differentiation, and growth regulation
layers of the mitochondria
DNA, matrix, innermembrane, cristae, outer membrane
centrosome
pair of centrioles located at right angles to each other and surrounded by protein
