functions of organelles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| nucleus | transcription of DNA information into RNA, specifies cell proteins |
| nucleous | site of ribosomal RNA synthesis |
| chromosome | contain genes that govern the structure and activity of the cell |
| plasma membrane | encloses cell contents, regulates movement of materials in and out of the cell, helps maintaincell shape, communicates with other cells |
| RER | makes protein |
| SER | lipi, carbs and hormonal synthesis |
| ribosomes | polypeptide synthesis in both plants and animals |
| golgi complex | modifies, packages and sorts secreted proteins to vacuole and other organelles |
| lysosome | contains enzyme that break down ingested materials, |
| vacoule | stores water |
| cilia | mov't of materials on surface of some tissues |
| flagella | cell locomotion by sperm cels and some unicellular eukaryotes |
| gap junction | cellular communication, links cardiac myocytes |
| plasmodesmata | only in pants, cellular communication, allows molecules, ions to pass thru but not organelles |
| anchoring junction | found in epithelial cells (skin), desmosomes are point of attachment, uses cadherins to cement cells together |
| tight junctions | seal off intercellular spaces, prevents toxins from entering the blood, forms the blood brain barrier |
