Roles of Organelles
Produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
What is the Mitochondria?
Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.
What is the Cell Membrane?
Break down waste, damaged cell parts, and invading pathogens.
Remove debris.
What are Lysosomes?
Stages of Mitosis.
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase?
Formation of gametes for sexual reproduction.
What is Meiosis?
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins & lipids for transport to their destinations.
Produces Lysosomes.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
Stacks of flattened membrane-bound sacs (cisternae).
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
Site of protein synthesis.
What are Ribosomes?
Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, spindle fibers form.
What is Prophase?
Errors of Mitosis.
Transports and synthesizes molecules.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?
Double membrane, with an inner membrane forming folds (cristae) to increase surface area.
What is the Mitochondria?
Growth, repair, and reproduction of somatic cells.
What is the purpose of Mitosis?
Chromosomes align in the center.
What is Metaphase?
Errors of Meiosis.
What is Chromosomal Abnormalities?
Ex: Down Syndrome, Turners Syndrome
Acts as a selectively permeable barrier.
Facilitates communication.
What is the Cell Membrane?
Studded with ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis.
What is the Rough ER?
Cytoplasm divides and results in 2 haploid daughter cells.
What is Cytokinesis?
Sister chromatids separate & move to opposite poles.
What is Anaphase?
Formed after DNA replication when a chromosome duplicates itself into two identical strands.
What are Chromatids?
Regulates cell activities through gene expression.
Produces Ribosomes.
Houses DNA.
What is the Nucleus?
Lacks ribosomes, involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
What is the Smooth ER?
Cell cycle stages.
What is Interphase, Mitotic phase and Cytokinesis?
Nuclear membrane reforms, cell begins to divide.
What is Telephase?
Stages of Meiosis.
What are Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telephase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telephase II?
