Organelles/ Cell Components
This is made of the phospholipid bilayer, maintaining an intracellular environment and is selective permeable, controlling what enters or exits the cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
Synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbs, detoxifies drugs/toxins, stores calcium/
What is the Smooth ER?
Uses oxidative enzymes inside single membrane to form and to then dispose of toxic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
What are Peroxisomes?
This network of protein fibers gives a cell its shape, helps organize organelles, and plays a role in cell movement.
What is the Cytoskeleton?
Powerhouse of the cell; produces ATP via cellular respiration.
What is the Mitochondria?
Is associated with ribosomes, helps with protein synthesis and processing, adds carbohydrates to proteins to make glycoproteins.
What is the Rough ER?
Uses hydrolytic enzymes in membranous sac to do intracellular digestion and recycling.
What are lysosomes?
Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus; instead, their DNA is located in this region of the cell.
What is the Nucleoid Region?
Two subunits composed of ribosomal RNAs and proteins and perform protein synthesis
What are ribosomes?
It processes and packages proteins and lipid molecules from ER
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This region stores and protects cell's genetic information, contain chromosomes, nucleolus makes ribosome subunits.
What is the nucleus?
Includes the cytosol plus the organelles and other cellular components located between the cell membrane and nucleus.
What is the Cytoplasm?
A structure that serves as a microtubule-organization center during cellular division.
What are Centrosomes?
Composed of polysaccharides (including cellulose) and proteins, is external to plasa membrane; protects and maintains cell shape.
What is the Cell Wall?
What is the Central Vacuole?
Converts solar to chemical energy via photosynthesis
What are Chloroplasts?
