Cell organelles Flashcards
(19 cards)
SER
synthesis lipids, metabolizes carbs, stores calcium ions, detox drugs & poison
RER
helps synthesize secretory proteins from ribosomes, adds carbs to proteins making glycoproteins, produces new membrane
Mitochondria
powerhouse, cellular respiration occurs, breakdown molecules, synthesize ATP
Chloroplast
site of photosynthesis in plants cells only, converts sun to chem energy
Golgi Body
warehouse for receiving, storing & shipping ER products
Lysosome
enzyme breaking macromolecules & recycles damaged organelles
Ribosome
carry out protein synthesis
Central Vacuole
helps plant cells grow by absorbing water
Peroxisome
contains enzymes transferring hydrogen to oxygen making hydrogen peroxide
Cytoskeleton
structural support & maintain shape
Centrioles
only in animal cells, made of microtubules, used during mitosis
Cilia
cell movement, sensory & signaling roles
Flagella
tail like helps move the cell
Nucleus
contains genes
Transport Protein
helps molecules move back and forth b/w membrane
Plastid
group of double membrane organelles found in plants, manufacture & store food
Vesicle
transport molecules from golgi to be released
Aquaporin
proteins transporting water across membrane
Nucleolus
in nucleus with chromosomes containing rRNA, makes ribosomes
