Frage Antworten
Nucleus Contains chromosomes and genetic information and controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Nuclear Envelope Contains pores that allow substances such are RNA to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
Nucleolus Makes Ribosomes.
Mitochondrion Site of Aerobic respiration where ATP is produced. Has a double membrane of which the inner layer if folded inwards to form cristae (increase surface area). Contains a fluid matrix inside.
Chloroplast Site where photosynthesis takes place. Found in plant cells and surrounded by a double membrane.
Chloroplast - Stroma A fluid filled matrix found in chloroplasts that contains the enzymes needed for the 2nd stage of photosynthesis (synthesis of sugars).
Chloroplast - Thylakoid membranes Stacked up to from grana. Grana are then connected by lamellae - thin, flat pieces of thylakoid membranes. All this makes a large surface area for the attachment of chlorophyll, electron carriers and enzymes that carry out the 1st stage of photosynthesis (light absorption).
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of membranes enclosing a fluid-filled space. The surface is covered with ribosomes. This provides a large surface area for the synthesis of proteins and glycoproteins. Provides a pathway for the transport of materials, especially proteins throughout the cell.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Similar to the Rough endoplasmic reticulum but has no ribosomes. Carries out the synthesis, store and transport of lipids and carbohydates.
Golgi Apparatus Consists of a stack membranes that make up flattened sacs callers cisternae. The golgi: forms lysosomes; adds carbohydrate to proteins to form glycoproteins; transports, modifies and stores lipids; Secretes carbohydrates such as cellulose and produces secretory enzymes such as those secreted by the pancreas.
Lysosomes - structure - Contains digestive enzymes called lysozymes. - Round organelle surrounded by a membrane - Abundant in phagocytic cells and epithelial cells - Formed when a vesicle from the golgi contains enzymes (e.g proteases and lipases)
Lysosomes - Functions - Release enzymes outside of the cell to destroy extracellular material - Completely break down cells after they have died (cell lysis) - Contain Lysozymes - Hydrolyse material ingested by phagocytic cells
Ribosomes There are 2 types: 70S - Prokaryotic cells + Mitochondria and Chloroplasts and 80S - Eukaryotic cells. They are a small cytoplasmic granule found in all cells. Floats freely in cytoplasm or attached to RER. They are the site of Protein Synthesis
Cell Wall - Structure - Rigid structure that surrounds plants - Consists of microfibrils of the polysaccharide cellulose, embedded in a matrix - Thin layer called the middle lamella which marks the boundary between adjacent cell walls and cements them together.
Vacuole - Structure A fluid filled sack bounded by a single membrane called the Tononplast. A plant vacuole contains a solution of mineral salts, sugars, amino acids, wastes and sometimes pigments
Vacuole - Function The sugars and amino acids may act as a temporary food store. The pigments may colour petals in order to attract pollinating insects. It is also a support to herbaceous plants by making cells turgid.
