Cell Organelles Flashcards
Site of ribosomal assembly
Nucleolus
Contains copies of genes for rRNA
Nucleolus
Complicated areay of vesicular spaces separated from cytoplasmic fluids or cytosol by a system of membranes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lined on the cytoplasmic surface with ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Rough ER
For storage and secretion of protein products outside cell
Rough ER
Absence of ribosomes
Enzymes present differs according to function of the system
Smooth ER
Falttened sacs or vesicles contunuous with ER to which newly syntehsized proteins are transported and stored
Golgi Apparatus
Site of glycosylation
Golgi Apparatus
Site of cellular respiration and production of ATP
Mitochondria
Number and size may reflect the need for energy and particular nature of metabolic activity occurring in the tissue
Mitochondria
Contains the enzymes of citric acid cycle, beta-oxidation of fatty acids, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylatiob
Mitochondria
Contain their own DNA and reproduce by dividing in two
Mitochondria
Vesicles surrounded by membrane containing hydrolytic and degradative enzymes
Lysosomes
Functions to digest material ingested by endocytosis and recycle cellular components
Lysosomes
Also known as microbodies
Perixosomes
