BIOSCI 101

Cell Organelles and their Functions (Detailed)

QuestionAnswer
Nucleus Contains DNA. Enclosed by double membrane that contains pores. Helps regulate cell's activities. Continuous with ER.
Chromatin Material consisting of DNA and proteins. Visible as individual chromosomes in a dividing cell.
Nucleolus Site of ribosomal RNA synthesis. A nucleus has one or more nucleoli.
Ribosomes Protein factories. Complexes made up of rRNA and protein which are either suspended in the cytosol (free) ar attached to the outside of the ER or nuclear envelope.
Bound ribosomes generally make proteins destined for insertion into membranes, used in lysosomes or for export outside the cell.
Free ribosomes Make proteins that function in the cytosol mostly.
Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane network (cisternae). Continuous with nuclear membrane. Involved in protein synthesis.
Rough ER ER+ ribosomes. Makes secretory proteins
Smooth ER Has no ribosomes and looks more tubular. It is involved in the synthesis of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs/poison and stores calcium ions.
Golgi Apparatus Modifies and secretes macromolecules. 'cis' is the recieving face and 'trans' is the shipping face.
Lysosomes Vesicles (mambrane bags) containign hydrolytic enzymes that break things down (hydrolyse). Break down old or damaged organelles.
Mitochondria ATP synthesis. Glycolysis and Krebs cycle. Contains own ribosomes and own DNA.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
