Termini in questo insieme (21)
Houses DNA, site for synthesis of ribosomes
Site of many steps of cellular respiration. Oval shaped organelle with a double membrane; a smooth outer membrane and a convoluted inner membrane.
Organelles that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.
A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Rough ER has ribosomes; smooth ER does not.
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.
Contain enzymes that digest and break down waste materials and cellular debris for reuse in the cell
Found in plant cells, they perform photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy.
A selectively permeable barrier that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Separates the interior from the exterior of the cell
Role in cell shape, protection, and support
The jelly-like fluid inside the cell where organelles are suspended and cellular processes occur. Metabolic reactions take place in here
A storage organelle that holds water, nutrients, and waste. Large in plant cells for maintaining turgor pressure. Involved in water balance
Organelles involved in cell division by helping organize the mitotic spindle.
Contain enzymes that break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances.
Responsible for cell shape, anchor organelles, internal transport of molecules, overall cell movement
Ribosomes assemble protein; once inside the ER, proteins are folded and modified.
Synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones; detoxification of medications
Long, whip-like structures that provide motility to some cells.
Short, hair-like structures that move fluid or cells across the cell surface.
Located inside the nucleus, it is responsible for ribosome production.
Complex of DNA and proteins in the nucleus that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.
Vesicle
Used for transporting cell product from ER to Golgi and Golgi to cell membrane and back
