Cards in this deck (16)
- 1What makes up a nucleus?Nuclear pores
Nuclear envelope
Chromatin
Nucleolus
Nucleoplasm - 2What are nuclear pores?holes in the nuclear envelope that allow exchange between the nucleus and cytoplasm
- 3What is the nuclear envelope?the double membrane surrounding the nucleus
- 4What are chromatin?loose form of DNA when the cell is not dividing
- 5What is the nucleolus?A small spherical and dense body within the nucleoplasm
produces rRNA used to make ribosomes - 6What is the nuclearplasm?The jelly like material making up most of the nucleus
- 7What is the function of mitochondria?To perform cellular respiration
- 8What is the matrix in the mitochondria?the interior solution containing enzymes of respiration
- 9What is the cristae in the mitochondria?The highly folded inner membrane
-has a large surface area - 10What are the function of ribosomes?To make proteins
- 11What is the function of rough ER?Protein synthesis and transport
- 12What is the function of smooth ER?Lipid, steroid and carbohydrate synthesis storage and transport
- 13What is the function of he Golgi apparatus?to collect and modify compounds and transport them to were they need to go
- 14What are lyosomes and what are there function?Vesicles which contain digestive enzymes and are used to destroy old or surplus organelles
- 15What are vacuoles?Membrane-bound sacs containing water or a dilute solution of salts and other solutes
- 16What is the structure of chloroplasts?Chloroplast contain folds in the thylakoid membrane which are folded into thylakoid disks which are stacked into piles called granan. These contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis and ATP synthesis
