Quiz 3 - Cell Organelles, Jobs, and Types - Oct 1 Flashcards
What are the three main jobs of cells?
- Make protiens
- Transform energy
- Make more cells
What part of a cell is not an organelle?
Cytoplasm
How are proteins made?
DNA transcribes messages via RNA to build proteins using amino acids.
What is the nucleus’ function?
To contain DNA and spread information from DNA to RNA.
What is the nucleus’ structure?
It has a nuclear membrane and a nucleolus which is the ribosome factory.
WHat is the ribosome’s function?
Makes proteins
What is the ribisome’s structure?
Some are in the cytoplasm, but most are on the rough ER
What is the rough ER’s function?
Completes proteins that the ribosomes have built
What is the smooth ER’s function?
Makes steroids, lipids, and drug detoxification.
What is the golgi complex’s function?
Is like UPS. It finishes, sorts, labels, and ships anything the ERs make. It also ships proteins in vesicles.
What is the golgi complex’s structure?
It has stacked membrane sacs
What organelles are involved in making proteins?
Nucleus, ribosomes, rough ER, and the golgi complex
What organelles are involved in making energy?
Cell membrane, lysosomes, vacuoles, vesicles, mitochondria, chloroplasts.
What are the four parts of making energy?
Taking in food to process it, exchanging gases, making ATP, and removing waste.
What is the cell membrane’s function?
To control what enters and leaves the cell and communicate to other cells.
What is the cell membrane’s structure?
Is a phospholipid bilayer with receptor molecules (proteins that recieve signals)
What are vesicle’s function?
To move materials around the cell
What are vacuoles function?
To store food, water, waste, and digestive enzymes
What is a vesicle’s structure?
A membrane sac
