(38 cards)
Where is the plasma membrane located?
envelopes entire cell
What is the primary function of the plasma membrane?
- provides a selectively-permeable barrier for the cell
- regulates movement of material in and out of cell
Where is the cytoplasm located?
interior of the cell
What is the primary function of the cytoplasm?
region of cellular metabolism and other activities that maintain the cell
Where is the cytosol located?
- interior of cell
- surrounds organelles
What is the primary function of the cytosol?
allows the transport of substances within cell
Where are organelles located?
within the cytoplasm, suspended within cytosol
What is the primary function of organelles?
each type of organelle conducts specific cellular functions
Where are centrioles located?
near the nucleus in the centrosome
What is the primary function of centrioles?
participates in cell division
Where is cilia located?
extend outward away from cell surface
What is the primary function of cilia?
motile cilia are used to propel fluids or small particles
Where is flagella located?
protrudes through cell membrane to the exterior of the cell
What is the primary function of flagella?
movement of the cell
Where is ribosome located?
often attached to the ER or unattached in cytoplasm
What is the primary function of ribosome?
sites of protein synthesis
Where is Rough ER located?
extends from the nuclear envelope within the cytoplasm
What is the primary function of Rough ER?
sites of protein synthesis
Where is Smooth ER located?
within cytoplasm
What is the primary function of Smooth ER?
sites of lipid and carbohydrate assembly
Where is Golgi apparatus located?
within cytoplasm, usually near the nucleus
What is the primary function of Golgi apparatus?
prepares and packages proteins for transport
Where is mitochondria located?
throughout cytoplasm
What is the primary function of mitochondria?
site of cellular respiration where ATP is produced
