SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM |
|
Definition
MEMBRANOUS NETWORK OF INTERCONNECTED CANALS
- no ribosomes attached
- extends from the rough ER
- synthesises fatty acids, steroids (eg: estrogen/testosterone), detoxifies drugs and other harmfull substances, releases calcium ions to contract muscles

ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM |
|
Definition
MEMBRANOUS NETWORK OF INTERCONNECTED CANALS
- ribosomes attached
- synthesises glycoproteins and phosopholipids
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- tiny particles found throughout the cell
- their function is to produce enzymes and protein compounds
- they are made up of rRNA
|
|

Term
|
Definition
- similar to cilia but larger
- are able to move an entire cell
- sperm tail is the only flagella found in the human body
|

Term
|
Definition
- hollow cylinders made up of tiny tubules
- they function in cell reproduction
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- short, hair - like projections
- they extend from the surface of the cell
- they move substances over the surface of the cell
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- tiny flattened sacs stacked on one another
- chemically processes, packages then transports proteins received from the rough ER
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- membrane-enclosed vesicles that are formed by the golgi apparatus
- they contain enzymes that digest food as well as microbes that invade cells
- the enzymes also help recycle worn out cell structures by engulfing another organelle, digesting it and returning the digested components to the cytosol for reuse

|
Definition
- membranous capsule
- made up of 2 membranous sacs, one inside the other with a fluid filled space in between
- generates ATP through reactions or aerobic cellular respiration
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- the outer shell of cells
- phosopholipid bilayer studded with proteins
- can identify cells
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- sphere in the centre of cells that contains DNA
- it is surrounded by a membranous substance known as the "nuclear envelope"
- nucleus controls every organelle in the cytoplasm
- controls the process of cell reproduction
- nucleolus is the dense region in the centre of the nucleus
- its role is to "program" the formation of ribosomes
