parts of the cell quiz Flashcards
they are thread-like structures that contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next.
chromosomes
where the assembly of ribosomes begin.
nucleolus
double layer that allow material into and out of the nucleus. surrounds the nucleus
nuclear envelope
network of protein filaments that help the cell maintain its shape.
cytoskeleton
hollow tubes of protein that help maintain the shape and serve as tracks when organelles move.
microtubules
long thin fibers that function in the movement and support of the cell.
microfilament
produce proteins following instructions that come from the nucleus
ribosomes
parts of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are changed
e.r.
attaches carbs and lipids to protein
Golgi apparatus
break down lipids, carbs, and proteins from food into particles that can be used by the rest of the cell.
lysosome
storage of the cell
vacuole
uses energy from sunlight to make food
chloropas
uses energy from food to make
mitocondria
consists of DNA that is combined together with protein and is spread throughout the nucleus.
chromatin
