Cards

Term
Ribosomes - Identify and describe.
Definition

are the organelles where proteins are produced.

(LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Nucleus - Chromatin - Identify and describe.
Definition

Contains genetic material of cell (DNA) and nucleoli; site of RNA synthesis and ribosomal subunit assembly. (LOC: Often in the center of the cell)

[image]

Term
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - Identify and describe.
Definition

Synthesizes protein for export from the cell. (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
l: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - Identify and describe.
Definition

Synthesizes lipids and participates in detoxification of chemicals within cells. (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Golgi apparatus - Identify and describe.
Definition

It collects, modifies, packages, and distributes proteins and lipids manufactured by the Endoplasmic Reticulum. (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Lysosomes - Identify and describe.
Definition

Contains enzymes that digest material taken into the cell (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Mitochondria - Identify and describe.
Definition

Are the major site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production within cells and the site of aerobic resperation. (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Secretory Vesicles - Identify and describe.
Definition

is a small, membrane-bound sac that transports or stores material within cells. They are pinched off from the Golgi apparatus and move to the surface of the cell. Their membranes then fuse with the cell membrane, and the contents of the vesicles are released to the exterior of the cell (exocytosis). (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Centrioles - Identify and describe.
Definition

Facilitate the movement of chromosomes during cell division. (LOC: In cytoplasm)

[image]

Term
Fat (Lipid) vacuole - Identify and describe.
Definition

Stores fat (lipids)

(Loc: In cytoplasm)
