Structure and Functions: Organelles Flashcards
What cells are Animal and plant cells?
eukaryotic cells.
It is surrounded by a plasma
membrane.
animal cell
It encloses the
cytoplasm in which is suspended the
membrane-bound nucleus and cell
organelles.
The plasma membrane
It lacks a cell wall.
Animal cell
It contains the genetic material (DNA) and is bound by a double membrane. (Nuclear
envelope)
The membrane-bound nucleus
The membrane-bound nucleus contains:
the genetic material (DNA) and is bound
by a double membrane. (Nuclear
envelope)
An animal cell is surrounded by a
plasma
membrane.
It contain organelles, most of which are membrane-bound.
Animal cells
The plasma membrane encloses the
cytoplasm in which is suspended the
- membrane-bound nucleus
- cell organelles.
What are the Organelles which are not membrane bound?
- Ribosomes
- Centrioles
It carry out specific functions that
are necessary for normal functioning of the cell (varied and ranging from hormones and
enzymes production)
Cell organelles
What are the Membrane-bound organelles?
- ER
- Golgi apparatus
- lysosomes
- mitochondria
It contain glycogen granules as food
storage.
Animal cells
It contain of Animal cells as food storage.
glycogen granules
Ribosome
Without membrane
Mitochondria
Double membrane
Organelle
Lysosome
Single membrane
Organelle
Nucleus
Double membrane
Organelle
effectively compartmentalize a cell’s activities, improving efficiency, and protecting cell contents from harsh chemicals.
Organelles
enable cells to secrete substances, derive energy from nutrients, degrade debris, and reproduce.

Structure, Function, and Distribution of Cell
Organelles
PLASMA MEMBRANE
defines its limits, and regulates the nature of its interaction with its environment.
plasma membrane
Specific Functions of Plasma Membrane
- Forms a boundary
- Gives shape, mechanical strength, and protection to the cell
- Regulates and controls the flow of materials in and out of the cell – SELECTIVE
PERMEABILITY - Provides receptor sites
- Cell – cell recognition
- Joins cells together
- Attachment to the cytoskeleton
- Provides attachment sites for enzymes
- Divides a cell into separate compartments
- Acts as an intracellular transport system
