Term | Definition |
---|---|
Plasma membrane structure- | bilayer of phospholipids, embedded proteins, hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails |
Plasma membrane function- | allows passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste |
Chloroplast structure- | double membrane, intermembrane space, thylakoid, granum, stroma |
Intermembrane space- | space in between two membranes |
Thylakoid- | flattened interconnected sacs |
Granum- | stacks of thylakoid |
Stroma- | liquid outside of thylakoid, contains chloroplast DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes |
Chloroplast function- | photosynthetic production of sugar, converts light energy into chemical energy |
RER Structure- | ribosome studded cisternae, ER Lumen |
Cisternae- | network of membranous tubules and sacs |
RER Function- | creates secretory proteins, membrane factory of cell, synthesize insulin (pancreatic cells) |
SER structure- | cisternae lacking ribosomes |
SER function- | synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs and poisons, storage of calcium ions |
Lysosome Structure- | membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes, protect cell from enzyme leakage |
Lysosome function- | digest food, break down damaged organelles, break down waste |
Ribosomes structure- | complexes made of ribosomal RNA and proteins, large and small subunit |
Free ribosome- | suspended in cytosol |
Bound ribosome- | attached to outside of RER or nuclear envelope |
Ribosome function- | carry out protein synthesis |
Golgi apparatus structure- | cisternae with a cis-trans face |
Cis face- | near ER, receives transport vehicles |
Trans face- | gives rise to vesicles that pinch off and travel to other sites |
Golgi apparatus function- | Shipping and receiving center of cell |
Central vacuole structure- | large vesicle derived from ER and Golgi filled with cell sap |
Cell sap- | main repository of or inorganic ions |
Central vacuole function- | large part of growth, absorbs water and enlarges |
Endomembrane system- | structure and function of Golgi, SER, RER, plasma membrane, and lysosomes |
Mitochondria structure- | smooth outer membrane, intermembrane space, rough inner membrane that contains important proteins and enzymes, matrix |
Matrix- | contains enzymes, mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes |
Mitochondria function- | site of cellular respiration |
Cytoskeleton structure- | network of fibers extending through cytoplasm, microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments |
Microtubules- | hollow tubes that support cell shape, chromosome movement, organelle movement, and resist compression, cell motility |
Microfilaments- | two intertwined strands of actin, tension-bearing, support cell shape, muscle contraction, and changes in shape, cell motility |
Intermediate Filaments- | fibrous proteins coiled into cables that support cell shape, anchor nucleus and other organelles, and form nuclear lamina, cell motility |
Cell motility- | changes in cell location and movement of cell parts |
Cytoskeleton function- | organize structure and activities of the cell |
Cell wall structure- | microfiber made of polysaccharide cellulose |
Cell wall function- | protects cell, maintains shape, prevent excessive uptake of water |
Nucleus Structure- | nuclear envelope, double membrane lipid bilayer, nuclear lamina, chromatin |
Nuclear lamina- | netlike array of protein filaments that maintains shape of nucleus |
Chromatin- | complex of DNA and ribosomes that make up chromosomes |
Nucleus function- | contains genes, houses chromosomes, contains nucleoli, pores regulate entry and exit of material |
Nucleolus structure- | mass of densely stained granules and fibers adjoined part of chromatin |
Nucleolus function- | RNA synthesis, creation of ribosomes, shipping of ribosomes |
Prokaryotic- | bacteria and archaea |
Eukaryotic- | protists, plant, animal, fungi |
