The Cell Part VI Flashcards
membrane-bound and non membrane-bound structures.
Organelles
carry out specific metabolic activities of the cell
Organelles
extensive interconnected membrane network that varies in shape (e.g., cisternae, tubules)
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
ribosomes attached on cytoplasmic surface
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
modifies, transports, and stores proteins produced by attached ribosome
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
these proteins are secreted, become components of the plasma membrane, or serve as enzymes of lysosomes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
extensive interconnected membrane network lacking ribosomes
Soft Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
synthesizes, transports, and stores lipids (e.g., steroids)
Soft Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
metabolizes carbohydrates
Soft Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
detoxifies drugs, alcohol, and poisons
Soft Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
forms vesicles and peroxisomes
Soft Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
series of several elongated, flattened saclike membranous structures
Golgi Apparatus
modifies, packages, and sorts materials that arrive from the Endoplasmic Reticulum in transport vesicles
Golgi Apparatus
forms secretory vesicles and lysosomes
Golgi Apparatus
spherical-shaped membrane-bound sacs
Vesicles
contain various types of materials to be transported through the cell
Vesicles
transport cellular material
Vesicles
transport cellular material
Vesicles
contain digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
spherical-shaped membrane-bound organelles formed from the Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
digest microbes or materials (e.g., ingested by the cell, worn-out cellular components, or the entire cell)
Lysosomes
smaller, spherical-shaped membrane-bound organelles formed from the Endoplasmic Reticulum or through fission;
Peroxisomes
contain oxidative enzymes
Peroxisomes
detoxify specific harmful substances either produced by the cell or taken into the cell;
Peroxisomes
engage in beta oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA
Peroxisomes
double membrane-bound organelles containing a circular strand of DNA (genes for producing mitochondrial proteins)
Mitochondria
synthesize most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration by digestion of fuel molecules (e.g., glucose) in the presence of oxygen
Mitochondria
organelles composed of both protein and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) that are organized into both a large and small subunit
Ribosomes
may be bound to a membrane or free in cytosol
Ribosomes
engage in protein synthesis
Ribosomes
bound ribosomes produce proteins that are secreted, incorporated into plasma membrane, and within lysosomes
Ribosomes
free ribosomes produce proteins used within the cell
Ribosomes
organized network of protein filaments and hollow tubules, including microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
Cytoskeleton
maintain intracellular structural support and organization of cells
Cytoskeleton
participates in cell division
Cytoskeleton
- facilitates movement
Cytoskeleton
actin protein monomers organized into two thin intertwined protein filaments (actin filaments)
Microfilaments
maintain cell shapes
Microfilaments
support microvilli
Microfilaments
separate two cells during cytokinesis (a process of cell division
Microfilaments
facilitate change in cell shape
Microfilaments
participate in muscle contraction
Microfilaments
various protein components
Intermediate Filaments
provide structural support
Intermediate Filaments
stabilize junctions between cells
Intermediate Filaments
stabilize junctions between cells
Intermediate Filaments
hollow cylinders composed of tubulin protein
Microtubules
maintain cell shape and rigidity
Microtubules
organize and move organelles
Microtubules
support cilia and flagella
Microtubules
participate in vesicular transport
Microtubules
separate chromosomes during the process of cell division
Microtubules
