18
Q

what are centrioles made of

A

a bundle of nine tubules

19
Q

function of centrioles

A

involved in cell division
-when cell divides centrioles pull apart to form spindle of microtubules that are involved in movement of chromosomes

20
Q

cytoskeleton

A

dynamic 3d web like structure that fills cytoplasm

21
Q

whats the cytoskeleton made of

A

microtubules and microfilaments

22
what are microfilaments
protein fibres
23
proteins in microfilaments
related to myosin and actin -contracile proteins in muscles
24
what are microtubules made of
globular protein tubulin
25
vacoules
-not permenant features in animal cells -many animals make food vacoules around prey
26
contracile vacoules
important in simple animals that live in fresh water -allow water content of cytoplasm to be controlled
27
endoplasmic reticulum
3d network of cavities bounded by membranes
28
types of cavities in ER
some sac like and some tubular
29
function of ER
links with other membranes around nucleus and makes up large part of transport system within cell and site of protein transport and synthesis
30
what are ribosomes made from
ribosomal RNA and protein large and small subunits
31
small and large part of 80S ribosomes
40S and 60S
32
RER
covered with 80S ribosomes
33
function of ribosomes/RER
make proteins and RER isolates and transports proteins once they are made
34
exocytosis
when substances leave a cell
35
features of RER
large surface area for synthesis of proteins and stores and transports them within and out of cell
36
what is SER involved in
transport and synthesis of steroids and lipids
37
whats the GA made of
stacks of parrallel flattened membrane pockets called cisternae
38
how is cisternae formed
by vesicles from ER fusing together
39
function of GA
-proteins brought to GA in vescicles -pinched of from RER where theyre made -vesicles fuse with membrane sacs of GA -protein enters GA stacks -
40
what happens to proteins as they travel in the GA
modified in various ways
41
lysosomes
digestive enzymes found in GA enclosed in vesicles to form lysosome organelle
42
features of inner parts of GA
closer to RER -rich in protein modifying enzymes
43
features of outer parts of GA
lots of finished protein
44
receptor binding sites
area#s that need to be outside cell membrane -oriented by GA so when arriving at membrane inserted correctly
45
lysosomes
dark spherical bodies in cytoplasm -mix of digestive enzymes
46
function of lysosomes
attach to each other or membranes to break down contents in molecules to making them usefull
47
apoptosis
lysosomes programmed self destruction
