25 cards·by jennybakalov
Study this deck
plasmalemma
lipid bilayer that isolates
cytosol
fluid component of cytoplasm that distributes materials by diffusion
nonmembranous organelles
cytoskeleton, microvilli, centrosome, cilia, and ribosomes
cytoskeleton
made of microtubules and microfilament which are proteins organized in fine filaments or slender tubes that strengthen and support
microvilli
membrane extensions containing microfilaments that increase surface area to facilitate absorption of extracellular materials
centrosome
cytoplasm containing two centrioles that are essential for movement of chromosomes during cell division
cilia
membrane extensions containing microtubule doublets in a 9 + 2 array that provide movement of materials over cell surface
ribosomes
RNA + proteins that create protein synthesis
membranous organelles
mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), golgi apparatus, lysosome, and peroxisome
mitochondria
double membrane that produce 95 percent of the ATP required by the cell
nucleus
nuclear envelope, nucleolus, and nuclear pore; nucleoplasm containing nucleotides, enzymes, nucleoproteins, chromatin; control metabolism
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
rough and smooth ER; network of membranous channels extending throughout the cytoplasm; has ribosomes bound to membranes
endoplasmic reticulum functions
synthesis of secretory products; modification and packaging of newly synthesized proteins; lipid, steroid, and carbohydrate synthesis
golgi apparatus composition
stacks of flattened membranes (cisternae) containing chambers
golgi apparatus functions
storage, alteration, and packaging of secretory products and lysosomal enzymes
lysosome composition
vesicles containing digestive enzymes
lysosome functions
intracellular removal of damaged organelles or of pathogens
peroxisome composition
vesicles containing degradative enzymes
peroxisome functions
catabolism of fats and other organic compounds
