Organelles create compartments for specialized functions Flashcards
887Mitchondria structure and function
Structure- mitochondrial matrix, DNA, and intermediate space
Essential role in cellular ATP production
mitochondria
Two types of ER and functions
Rough ER- synthesis of proteins
smooth ER- synthesis of fatty acids, steroids lipids (ex. testosterone, estrogen, storage=calcium)
Sorts, modifies and packages proteins into vesicles
The Golgi apparatus or Golgi com
Two types of vesicles
storage vs. secretory vesicles
lysosomes, and peroxisomes
Compare and contrast lysosomes and peroxisomes.
Both are vesicles
Lysosomes –break down bacteria and old organelles
Peroxisomes –break down fatty acids and toxic materials
Store things that will be moved from the cell
vesicles
Have membranous sheets. Package materials for secretions.
Golgi apparatus and vesicles
Contain enzymes that break down fatty acids and some foreign materials
peroxisomes
small, spherical storage vesicles that contain powerful digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
Made from microtubules and direct DNA movement during cell division
centrioles
The nucleus is covered by and contains these important structures
covered by nuclear envelope:two membranes with pore
Nuclear pore complexes: transport occurs here
* Chromatin: DNA and associated proteins- chromatin found in non dividing cells and can be used by the cell. chromosomes are found in cells dividing(non-compact state;)
- Nucleoli (nucleolus) – Control synthesis of ribosomal RNA
Contents of nucleus
chromatin, chromosome
loosely coiled DNA (cells not dividing)
chromatin
Tightly coiled DNA (cells dividing)
