(BPRVTHS) organelles
cell organelles, baypath
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| mitochondria | makes ATP (energy) by respiration, has its own DNA |
| ribosome | perform protein synthesis, float around in the cytosol and attached to rough ER |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | protein transport, attached to the nucleus, can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth |
| golgi apparatus | packaging center of the cell, looks like a stack of pancakes, AKA golgi body, golgi complex |
| vesicle | importer/exporter of the cell, works with golgi to transport things out of the cell |
| nucleus | dark colored center of the cell, contains the DNA |
| cytosol | the jelly-like fluid inside the cell, AKA cytoplasm |
| cell membrane | phospholipid bilayer, selectively permiable - decides what goes in and out of the cell |
| nucleolus | assembles ribosomes |
| nuclear membrane | membrane surrounding the nucleus (has pores to allow substances to pass through) |
| vacuole | storage for the cell (bigger in plant than in animal cells) |
| chloroplast | makes energy for the plant cell by the process of photosynthesis |
| lysosome | "digestive system" of the cell |
| cell wall | supports and protects the cell, mostly in plants - made of cellulose |
| chromosomes | contains genetic information - only in eukaryotes (prokaryotes have cyclic DNA) |
| cilia | many hair-like fibers outside the cell to aid with cell movement and attachment (animal cells only) |
| flagella | whip-like structure that propel cells |
| centriole | helps with cell division (spindle fibers) animal cell only |
| cytoskeleton | provides support and shape for animal cell |
