Organelles Flashcards
(37 cards)
Two cell biologists were able to discover a new organelle and they named it because of it resembles the stripes of this animals. This is a membrane-less organelle that functions as a “safe space” for messenger RNAs to encode different proteins.
TIGER Domain
The name TIGER is an abbreviation of the two main components that make up the domain: TIS Granules are connected proteins that bind RNA and THIS organelle where protein synthesis happens
endoplasmic Reticulum
(Plant/Animal) The cell wall contains cellulose.
Plant Cells
There is no cell wall (Plant/Animal)
Animal Cells
There are no centrioles present (Plant/Animal Cells)
Plant Cells
Contains a pair of centrioles (Animal/Plant Cells)
Animal Cells
Nucleus is often located at the side because the vacuole takes up too much space (Plant/Animal Cells)
Plant Cells
The nucleus is usually found at the center (Animal/Plant Cells)
Polygonal or box-like in shape (Plant/Animal Cells)
Plant Cells
Irregular to circular in shape (Plant/Animal)
Animal cells
Irregular to circular in shape (Plant/Animal)
Animal cells
Contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis (Plant/Animal cells)
Plant cells
There are no chloroplasts (Plant/Animal Cells)
Animal Cells
It has a large central vacuole (Plant/ Animal Cells)
Plant Cells
The vacuoles are smaller in size (Plant/Animal cells)
Animal cells
This is the jelly-like substance that is enclosed by the plasma membrane. Its purpose is to support and protect the internal structures – so it acts like a cushion to secure the organelles, and it also maintains the shape of the cell.
Cytoplasm
Name the two major parts of the cytoplasm.
Cytosol and Cell organelles
This major part of the cytoplasm is where the solution where everything is submerged in a cell
Cytosol
Ths organelle is the largest and most prominent organelle in a eukaryotic cell. It has an average diameter of 5 micrometers
Nucleus
Its usual shape is spherical or oval and it is enclosed by a double membraned nuclear envelope.
Nucleus
This envelope is studded with these which serve as a passageway for RNAs during DNA replication. The diameter of these things ranges from 20 to 50 nanometers.
nuclear pores
This is an extensive membranous network that is composed of tubules and flattened sacs called cisternae.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum is an extensive membranous network that is composed of tubules and flattened sacs called these.
Cisternae
The main function of this organelle is to collect the proteins synthesized by the ribosomes and then pack and store them temporarily before transporting them to the Golgi apparatus for secretion. It is named as such because it is studded with ribosomes on its surface
