Surface of Cell Flashcards
Cell Wall
commonly found in plants cells – protection & support
Plasma Membrane
control of substances coming in and out
Cilia
sweep materials across the cell surface
Flagellum
enables a cell to propel and move in different directions
Cytoplasm
between plasma membrane and nucleus – many organelles
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
is the passageway for transport of materials within the cell
Synthesis of lipids
modification of newly formed polypeptide chains
Ribosomes
site of protein synthesis
Golgi apparatus
Final modification of proteins & lipids Packing of materials for secretion of
the cell
Mitochondria
site of aerobic cell respiration-ATP production
Lysosomes
contain enzymes to digest ingested material or damaged tissue
Chloroplasts
store chlorophyll – photosynthesis light reaction
Vacuoles
storage – increase cell surface area
Centrioles
organize the spindle fibers during cell division
Cytoskeleton
cell shape, internal organization, cell movement & locomotion
