Organelle Functions I
Organelle Functions II
Communication
Up Dog
100
Synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs and poisons.
What is the smooth E.R.?
100
Contains its own DNA and ribosomes. Generates ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
100
System that facilitates cell communication.
What is the extracellular matrix?
100
The digestion of a damaged organelle by a lysosome is referred to as this.
What is autophagy?
200
Houses chromosomes. Membrane is porous and part of the endomembrane system.
What is the nucleus?
200
Aids in the synthesis proteins. Produces new membrane for the cell.
What is rough E.R.?
200
Create continues tight seals to prevent leakage of extracellular fluid.
What tight junctions?
200
Amoeba use these to move.
What are pseudopodia, i.e. false feet?
300
Breaks down ingested substances, macromolecules and damaged organelles.
What is a lysosome?
300
This system helps cells communicate and connect.
What is the extracellular matrix (ECM)?
300
In plant cells, these act as channels through which cells exchange cytoplasm.
What are plasmodesmata?
300
Like rugae in the stomach, cristae (folds) within mitochondria increase this for the organelle.
What is surface area?
400
In plant cells, this large central region serves as a storage compartment.
What is the central vacuole?
400
Produces microtubules for the cell. Known as the microtubule organizing center.
What are centrioles (centrosome)?
400
These junctions anchor cells to one another, forming strong sheets of cells.
What are desmosomes?
400
Cilia and flagella are composed of these, arranged in a 9+2.
What are microtubules?
500
Protein synthesis. Machinery that reads the mRNA and produces a polypeptide.
What are ribosomes?
500
Contains enzymes that transfer hydrogen to water, producing hydrogen peroxide as a by-product.
What are peroxisomes?
500
Act similarly to plasmodesmata, however these are present in animal cells. Provide channels through which cells can exchange cytoplasm.
What are gap junctions?
500
The first team with all members standing will be awarded 500 points.
