Chapter 3 - Cells Flashcards
Membranous organelles are…
cellular structures wrapped in phospholipid bilayers
Nonmembranous
Organelles made of complex proteins
This organelle consists of oxidative enzymes, is found in all eukaryotes, and oxidizes organic compounds and metabolic peroxides.
Peroxisome
Vessicle or small vacuole containing digestive enzymes
Lysosome
Ribosome: Membranous or nonmembranous?
Nonmembranous
Vacuole: Membranous or nonmembranous?
Membranous
Lysosome/Peroxisome: Membranous or nonmembranous?
Membranous
Microvilli
Folds in plasma membrane to increase surface (ex - for absorption or transport)
Responsible for directing many aspects of cell division in most animal cells
Centrioles
Rough ER
Site where protein production occurs due to ribosomes
Smooth ER
Site where some proteins produced do their jobs and also where detoxification, materials processing, and lipid synthesis occur
Small membrane spheres with various storage/transport functions
vesicles
When large molecules are enclosed in membrane bound vesicles, bind to plasma membrane, and are released outside of cell
Exocytosis
What is one sign that a patient is alcoholic on a cellular level?
Large smooth ER
What cell organelle receives and modifies proteins?
Golgi complex
