cell parts Flashcards
(20 cards)
lysosome
found in the animal cell and is formed by the golgi body. it carries enzymes that break down large molecules and cell parts. suicide sac
vacoule
big in the plant cell and small in the animal cell. basically a storage unit.
cytoskeleton
mricotubulues: tube like
microfilamnets: hair like
centrioles
only found in an animeal and plays a key roll is cell divison
golgi body
-“stacked pancakes” forms lysosomes
-stores, modifies, and packages proteins from the roughER.
-pinches off to fill small protein vesicles
ribosomes
-attached to the roughER or floating in the cytoplasm
- site of protein synthesis
- amino acids are joined together to make proteins
- the smallest organelles
- made up of RNA and proteins
rough endoplasmic reticulum (roughER)
- an organelle with a double membrane with ribosomes attached
- extends from the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane
- transports proteins made by the ribosome to the golgibody
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smoothER)
- double membrane bound organelle without ribosomes
- extends throughout the cell
- produces lipids for the cell
plastids
- chemical factories or store houses for food/pigments
- chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis
- chromoplasts: store pigments (orange and yellow)
- amyloplasts- colorless and store startch
cell wall
- protects and supports the cell
- primary cell wall mad of cellulose
- plants and prokaryotic cells
cytoplasm
- jelly like substance that fills the interior of the cell
- many metabolic reaction occur within the cytoplasm
cilia
cilia (cilium) are shorter hair like structues that aid in movement
flagella
longish, whip like tail that aids in movement and they spin like a propeller
pili
allows attachment to other
bacteria/other surfaces, DNA exchange
cell membrane
- outermost boundary of the cell
- made up of proteins and a bilayer (double) of lipid (fat) molecules
- holds the cell content in place
- regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell
nucleus
- control center of the cell
- contains chromosomes made of genes, chromosomes and DNA (chromatin)
- pores in the nuclear enevlope allow some things to pass through
- double membrane
nucleolus
- located inside the nucleus
- cells contain one or more nucleoli
- they produce ribosomes
mitochondira
- the “powerhouse of the cell”
- oval shaped with a double membrane
- a smooth outer and an inner folded membrane called the cristae
- site of cellular respiration
- energy is released from sugar and energy stored in ATP
- mitochondria contain their own DNA
vesicles
- small bubble within a cell
- used for metabolism, transport, buyoncy control, enzyme storage, chemical reaction chambers
- types: normal vesicles, transport, secretory, and lysosmes
peroxisomes
membrane bound oragnelle contains enzymes involved in energy metabolism (mostly fats)
