14
Q

tonoplast

A

found in central vacuoles and help maintain cell ridgidity by exerting tugor

15
Q

contractile vacuoles

A

in single-celled organisms collect and pump excess water out of cell
* prevent cell lysis

16
Q

endomembrane system

A

group of organells and membranes that work together to modify, package, and transport proteins and lipids entering/exiting

17
Q

organelles in endomembrane system

A

rough/smooth ER, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and cell membrane

18
Q

perioxisomes

A

function to breakdown substances
* generates H2O2 and produces ROS
* contain catalase to breakdown

19
Q

centrosome

A

contains pair of centrioles

20
Q

microfilaments

A

made of actin and aid in cell motility

21
Q

microfilament function

A
  1. cleavage furrow
  2. cyclosis
  3. muscle contraction
22
Q

clevage furrow

A

during cell division, myosin motors and actin microfilaments from contractile rings that split the cell

23
cyclosis (cytoplasmic streaming)
flow of cytoplasm inside the cell
24
glycosylation
process of adding carbohydrate to a protein
24
smooth ER
synthesize lipids, steriod hormones which are essential for energy storage, membrane function, and hormone communication
25
muscle contraction
actin microfilaments have directionality that contributes to muscle contraction
26
what are microtubule walls made of
tubulin
27
microtubule arrangement in centriole
9 x 3
