Unit 3-organelles Flashcards
Nucleus
- holds DNA
- control center of the cell
- has small pores to allow RNA out
Cell membrane parts
- Phospholipids
- integral proteins
- cholesterol
- glycoproteins/glycolipids
Simple diffusion
Small not polar molecules are able to go through the cell membrane without help
Nucleolus
- Inside the nucleus
- produces ribosomes
Rough ER
- System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm.
- Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes.
- transportsproteins within the cytoplasm
Smooth ER
- produces lipids to repair the cell membrane
- detoxes
- regulates calcium
Golgi apparatus
- packages protein in vacuoles for transport out of the cell
- like UPS
Ribosome
- produced in the nucleolus
- produces protein
Lysosome
Organelle filled with enzymes to help break down waste products
Mitochondria
- highly folded double membrane
- makes ATP
- matrix is the center fluid
- takes in glucose and oxygen to produce CO2, ATP, and H2O
Free ribosomes
Located around the cell to make protein for their specific locations
Bound ribosomes
- Ribosomes connected to the rough ER
- makes proteins for the membrane and to be shipped out of the cell
Chloroplast
- Contains a double membrane
- has stacks of thylakoids for absorbing light energy
- site of photosynthesis; takes in CO2 and H20 to make glucose and oxygen
thylakoids
- Located in the chloroplast
- absorbed sunlight
Granum
Stacks of thylakoids
Stroma
Fluid in the chloroplast
Vacuole
- Storage for the cell
- water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
What can pass through the cell membrane
Small non-polar molecules
Concentration gradient
Molecules going from high to low concentration
