Plant/Animal Organelles Flashcards
(16 cards)
1
Q
Cell Wall
A
- Only plants
- Made up of plant cellulose
- Gives support
- Allows CO2 and O2 to enter/exit
2
Q
Mitochondria
A
- Plant/Animal
- Breaks down sugar molecules into energy
- double membranes organelle (cristae)
- Site of cellular respiration
3
Q
Golgi Apparatus
A
- Plant/animal
- Closer to cell membrane
- Responsible for packaging
4
Q
Vacuole (Plant)
A
- Few/large
- Large central vacuole
- There permanently
- Stores water
5
Q
Vacuole (Animal)
A
- Can store almost anything
- Small
- Is temporary
- Can be made and dissolved
6
Q
Vesicle
A
- Animals
- Helps in storage and release of storage
- Is temporary
7
Q
Lysosome
A
- Plant (uncommon)
- Animal (common)
- breaks large food molecules into smaller molecules
8
Q
Peroxisomes
A
- Responsible for breaking down cellular debris
9
Q
Cell Membrane
A
- All cells
- Controls movement of materials in and out of the cell
- Maintains homeostasis
10
Q
Nucleus
A
- All cells
- Genetic material
- Growth
- Maintenance
- Replication/repair
11
Q
Nucleolus
A
- All cells
- Controls movement of materials in and out of cell
- Porous
12
Q
Centrioles
A
- Animal cells
- Separate chromosome pairs during mitosis
- Every animal cell has two
- Anchors for spindle fibers
13
Q
Cytoplasm
A
- All cells
- Support
- Protects cell organelles
- Contains dissolved substances
- Has water/salt/sugar
14
Q
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A
- Plant/animal
- Smooth/rough
- Carries materials through cells
- Typically sits close to the nucleus
- Makes fats/lipids
- Rough = ribosomes
- Smooth = none
15
Q
Ribosome
A
- All cells
- Synthesis of proteins
- Made of rRNA and protein
16
Q
Chloroplast
A
- Plants
- Site of photosynthesis
- Chemical energy made from the sun
