19
Q

Why can mitochondria produce by cell division?

A

They have mitochondrial DNA

20
Q

Ribosomes
(made of RNA and protein)

A

Build proteins
(float or attached to ER)

21
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

Tubes and sacs (cisternae) that transport molecules around the cell

22
Q

Rough ER

A

Covered in ribosomes
Proteins are transferred in or out of cell membrane

23
Q

Smooth ER

A

Builds lipids (cholesteral)

24
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Membranous sacs recieve vesicles (transportation for proteins/lipids) and lables them with carbs

25
Q

Lysosomes

A

Digestivve enzymes digest old organelles by autophagy or dysfunctioning cells by autolysis

26
Q

Peroxisomes

A

Neutralize damaging oxyfen ions (radicals), detoxify drugs, produces hydrogen peroxide during the process

27
Q

Glyoxysomes break down fats in plant seeds for energy

A

Another vesicle

28
Q

Endosomes

A

formed from pockets in membraes

29
Q

Food vacuoles

A

Store nutrients

30
Q

Contractile vacuoles

A

rid excess water

31
Q

Protein synthesis

A

Ribosomes on rough ER, transported in vesicles to Golgi Apparatus, modified and repacked, released from vesicles,
(remaining vesicles are lysosomes or peroxisomes)

32
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Tubes and filaments as roadways and structure

33
Q

Microtubules

A

Hollow tubes of tubulin keep organelles in place, keep shape, guide molecules

34
Q

Intermediate Filaments

A

Rods hold organelles in place

35
Q

Cilia and Flagella

A

Hair-like stuctures on cells for movement (made of 9 microtubules and 2 central tubules

36
Q

Centrioles

A

Two short cylinders of microtubules that organize microtubules of the cytoskeleton during cell division in animal cells

37
Q

Plant cells have additional…

A

Cell walls, large central vacuoles, and plastidsC

38
Q

Cell wall

A

Cellulose inside proteins and carbs that form boxes around cell (has pores)

39
Q

Primary and secondary wall

A

Primary wall built by enzymes, secondary wall grows between mebrane and primary wall; can’t expand

40
Q

Central Vacuole

A

stores water, enzymes, wastes
Provides a lot of structure; wilts without water

41
Q

Other vacuoles (plant cell)

A

Store toxic materials or pigments

42
Q

Plastids

A

Surrounded by double membrane and has own DNA

43
Q

Chloroplasts
(cell division)

A

Make carbs from light energy with H2O and CO2 using chlorophyll inside thylakoids (membranous sacs)

44
Q

Endosymbiosis

A

Prokaryotic cells incorporated in eukaryotic cells a long time ago

45
Q

Chromoplasts

A

Contain pigments; sometimes helps with photosynthesis
