Cards

Term
Nucleus
Definition
Coordinating centre for the cell. Contains DNA.
Term
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
Storage of enzymes.
Internal transport of proteins etc.
Attached ribosomes make the proteins.
Term
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
Production of steroids.
Detoxification.
Storage of calcium in muscle tissue.
Term
Golgi apparatus
Definition
Sorts, packages, and routes proteins and lipids (and other products made in the rough ER).
Sends products -mostly to the outside of the cell- using vesicles.
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Sites of protein synthesis.
-Read the genetic information and translate it into peptides (short amino acid chains).
Term
Lysosome
Definition
Waste dispsoal
-Bus off of the golgi apparatus as primary lysosome, then merge with some form of waste (dead organelles etc.) to become secondary lysosome.
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Energy production
-Produced as ATP, a form of glucose.
Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Supports the cell and aids transport of chemicals and organelles within the cell.
-Made up of microtubules and microfilaments
