Unit 2: Cells/Tissues Flashcards
DNA
This cell contains hereditary instruction for building proteins and control cell functions
Nucleus and Nuclear Envelope
This houses the DNA and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells
Lysosome
This cell would need hydrolyzing enzymes to break down organic material and damaged cell parts
Smooth ER
This cell synthesizes lipids, stores calcium ions in muscle
Mitochondria
this cell needs to release energy stored in food to make a more usable form of energy for the cell
Golgi Apparatus
this cell packages products from the ER into vesicles. these products can then be released to and from cells
Rough ER
synthesized proteins (via embedded ribosomes) that will be packaged by the cells
microvilli
this is found in or on cells whose main function is absorption
Structure: Centrioles
Function: organize spindle fibers
Impact of cell: Mitosis
Structure: Chromatin
Function: genetic material within nucleus
Impact: instructions for making proteins
Structure: Cytoplaste
Function: includes cellular organelles and cytosol contains enzymes
Impact: mediates cytosolic reactions
Structure: Smooth ER
Function: site of lypid synthesis and detoxification of drugs
Impact: detox and make lipids
Structure: Cytoskeleton
Function: main structural support composed of robules and filaments
Impact: helps maintain shape/foundation
Structure: Rough ER
function: synthesize protein, lysome secretioin
impact: cells that secrete alot of protein
Structure: Golgi Apparatus
Function: receives proteins from rough er and modifies, packages and sorts
impact: make/finish products
