Cell Structure Flashcards
0
Q
Function of Mitochondrion?
A
- carry process of cell respiration
- covert glucose to ATP (cellular energy)
1
Q
Function of Nucleus?
A
- Control center of cell
- contains DNA (directs the synthesis of proteins by the cell)
2
Q
Function of Endoplasmic Reticulum?
A
- transport channels within cell
3
Q
Function of Ribosomes?
A
- found in Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- also free in cytoplasm
- responsible for synthesis of proteins for the cell
4
Q
Function of Cell Membrane?
A
- selectively regulates materials moving into/out of cell
5
Q
Function of Vacuole?
A
- store/digest food
- pump out wastes/excess water from the cell
- found in many single-celled aquatic organisms
6
Q
Function of Chloroplasts?
A
- found in plant cells
- carries process of photosynthesis
7
Q
Function of Cell Wall?
A
- surround and protect plant cells
8
Q
What is a Eukaryotic cell?
A
- contain nucleus, other organelles
- surrounded by membrane
- for multi-cellular organisms
9
Q
What is a Prokaryotic cell?
A
- no nucleus
- one, single strand of DNA
- for single-celled organisms
10
Q
Differences between Plant and Animal Cell?
A
- cell wall
- chloroplasts
- larger vacuole (90% of plant cell)
11
Q
Function of Lysosomes?
A
- contain digestive enzymes
- break down polymers
- recycle materials
12
Q
Function of Centrioles?
A
- aid in cell division
13
Q
Function of Golgi Apparatus?
A
- process proteins generated in ER
- help with transportation of lipids
14
Q
Function of Microtubules?
A
- move vesicles, granules, organelles
