Unit 1- Cell organelles Flashcards
what are the 3 main jobs of the cell
- Cell metabolism
- Protein synthesis
- Cell division
what organelle takes in food
vesicles
what organelles digests food
lysosomes (containing enzymes) fuse with vesicles
what stores food in plants
vacuoles
what organelle makes energy
-turns it from what to what
the mitochondria turns chem. energy to ATP
what organelles remove waste
lysosomes-waste
peroxisomes-toxic substances
what are traits of the mitochondria
-contains DNA
-has double membrane
-has a matrix in the inner membrane
traits of chloroplasts
-in plants
-stores energy, turns chem enrgy to glucose
traits of the nucleus
-contains DNA
-has pores to allow RNS out
-site of ribosome production
traits of ribosomes
-read RNA’s instructions to build polypeptides
traits of Rough ER
-covered in ribosomes
-folds polypeptides
traits of smooth ER
-produces lipids
-products as sent by vesicles to the golgi apparatus
traits of golgi apparatus
-receives products from the ER
what is the process of making more cells
-interphase
-mitosis
-cytokinesis
