TermDefinition
Nucleus Structure: surrounded by nuclear envelope; filled with nuclear pores; nuclear envelope continuous with ER Function: houses chromosomes, which are made of chromatin; contains nucleoli, where ribosomal units are made; pored regulate entry and exit
Ribosome Structure: 2 subunits made of ribosomal RNA and proteins; can be free in Christi or bound to ER Function: protein synthesis
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Structure: extensive network or membrane bounded tubules and sacs; membrane separates lumen from cytosol; continuous with nuclear envelope Function: lipid synthesis, metabolism of carbohydrates, Calcium storage, drug and poison detoxification
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Structure: same as smooth er Function: aids in synthesis of secretory and other proteins from bound ribosomes; adds carbohydrates to proteins to make glycoproteins; produces new membrane
Golgi apparatus Structure: stacks of flattened membranous sacs; has polarity (Cis and trans faces) Function: stores and packages proteins and phospholipids, synthesis of many polysaccharides
Lysosomes Structure: membranous sac of hydrologic enzymes Function: breakdown of ingested substances, cell macromolecules, and damaged organelles for recycling
Vacuole Structure: large membrane bound organelle Function: digestion, storage, waste disposal, star balance, plant cell growth and protection
Mitochondria Structure: bounded by double membrane; inner membrane has cristae Function: cellular respiration; makes ATP
Chloroplast Structure: 2 membranes around fluid storms, which contains thylakoids into grana Function: photosynthesis
Peroxisome Structure: Specialized metabolic compartment bounded by a single membrane Function: contains enzymes that transfer hydrocarbon atoms from certain colegiales to oxygen produicing hydrogen peroxide

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.
