Parts Of The Cell Flashcards
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus
Processes and packages new lipids and proteins
Also makes lysosomes
East id the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Transport and package proteins made by ribosomes on their cell surface membrane
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesise and process lipids
What is the function of the nucleus
-contain organisms genetic material
-act as the control centre of the cell
What is the function of the vacuole
-storage f useful substances
-storage of waste products
-support el by makin=g them turgid
What is the function of the mitochondria
-site of aerobic respiration
-produce ATP as a product of respiration
What is t he function of the chloroplast
Site where photosynthesis occurs
-contains chlorophyll for absorption of light for photosynthesis
What is the function of the lysosomes
-contain digestive enzymes (lysozymes)
-kept separate from the cytoplasm
What is the function of the ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
What is the function of the cell wall
-provide strength to prevent bursting due to osmosis
Provide strength and support for the whole plant
Explain how a protein is created and released from the cell
- part of the DNA is copied inside the nucleus
-template of the DNA is transported trough the nuclear pores to the ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
-template reaches the ribosomes and is synthesised in the rough endoplasmic reticulum
-vesicle containing protein is transported to the Golgi body
-vesicle meets the Golgi bod and fuses t its membrane
-protein is further modifies and folded in the Golgi bod
-protein is elected in a Golgi vesicle where it leaves the cell through exocytosis
Describe all the structures inside a chloroplast
Outer membrane
Inner membrane
Inter membrane space
Stroma
Lamella
Granum
Starch granule thylakoid membrane
Chloroplasts
Describe al the structures inside a mitochondrion
Inner membrane
Outer membrane
Inter membrane space
70s ribosome
Circular loop of DNA
Cristae
Matrix
What is the evidence for endosymbiosis
-circular DNA is found in both the mitochondrion and the chloroplast
-70s ribosomes are found in the mitochondria and the chloroplast
-mitochondrion and the chloroplasts are both surrounded by a double membrane
