cell organelle Flashcards
(20 cards)
nuclear envelope structure
double membrane surrounding the nucleus
nuclear pore function
allows materials to move in and out of the nuclear envelope
function of nucleolus
-assembling of ribosomes
vesicles
small fluid filled sacs
transport substances around inside a cell
ribosomes structure
-made from RNA and proteins
RER structure
folded membranes that has ribosomes on outer structure
RER function
where proteins are processed and packaged into vesicles
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum structure
folded membranes no ribosomes on its outer surface
SER function
where carbohydrates and LIPIDS are secreted and packaged into vesicles
function of the golgi apparatus
-stores and modifies PROTEINS and LIPIDS, packaged in vesicles
-packaged (proteins) enzymes to form lysosmes
lysosomes
membrane bound organelle that releases digestive enzymes
mitochondria
site of aerobic respiration and production of ATP
function of plant cell wall
-provides structural rigidity
-stops water entering by osmosis,
-enables cell to be turgid
vacuole
-makes plants turgid
-stores sugars and amino acids (temp food store)
plant and algal cell wall made from what polymer
cellulose
fungal cell wall made from what polymer
chitin
thylakoids
-flattened sacs in the chloroplast,
- contain the pigment chlorophyll
grana
stacks of thylakoids found in the stroma of chloroplast
phospholipids tails
-fatty acid chain
-hydrophobic
phospholipid heads
-glycerol molecule
-phosphate group
-hydrophilic
