Q

where is DNA located

19
Q

where is RNA located

20
Q

a system of membranous tubules and sacs

main function: intercellular highway ( a path along which molecules move from one part of the cell to another); pathway to deliver nutrients

A

endoplasmic reticulum

21
Q

what are the 2 types of endoplasmic reticulum

A
  1. rough endoplasmic reticulum

2. smooth endoplasmic reticulum

22
Q

prominent in cells that make large amounts of proteins to be exported from the cell inserted into the cell membrane

coved with ribosomes

A

rough endoplasmic reticulum

23
Q

involved in the synthesis of lipids and breakdown of toxic substances

covered with ribosomes

A

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

24
Q

staked flat sacs

main function: receives protein from the rER and distributes them to other organelles or out of the cells

receiving, processing, packaging, and shipping

A

golgi apparatus

25
term refer to other parts of the cells
organelles
26
folded membrane within the outer membrane main function: power house of the cell; converts energy stored in food into usable energy for work
mitochondria
27
called to the folds of the inner membrane of the mitochondria
cristae
28
suicide bag of the cell or the demolition site main function: break down excess or worn out cell parts; they may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria
lysosomes
29
hair-like organelles that extends from the surface of cells main function: cell motility
cilia and flangella
30
organelles that present large numbers
cilia
31
organelles that present less numerous and longer
flangella
32
composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules arrange in a ring; exist in pairs main function: important play in cell divisions or mitosis
centrioles
