Ribosomes- are very small structures made of protein and ribosomal RNA and are found on the surface of rough ER. Proteasome- is a barrel shaped organelle made of enzymes that cut protein molecules apart. Golgi apparatus- are flat, membranous sacs where carbohydrates are synthesized and are packed with other materials for cellular secretion. Mitochondria- are oval organelles bound by a double membrane where cell respiration takes place and site of ATP production. Lysosomes- are single membrane structures that contain digestive enzymes and eat dead cells and bacteria . Centrioles- are a pair of rod shaped structures outside the nucleus that spindle fibers during cell division. Cilia and Flagella- are thread-like projections through the cell membrane that can sweep materials across cell surface and flagellum provide mobility of the cell. Microvilli- are folds of the cell membrane that increase surface area of membrane when needed. They are good for absorption of nutrients as well. Cytoskeleton- are the framework and support of the cell. Made of microfiliaments. | 28 | |

| 56049921 | What are the serous membranes and where they are located? | Serous membranes are in closed body cavities where the serous fluid prevents friction between the two layers of the serous membrane. ---Thoracic cavity: partial pleura lines chest wall and cisceral pleura covers the lungs. ---Pericardial sac: parietal pericardium lines the fibrous pericardium and the visceral pericardium covers the heart muscle. ---Abdominal cavity: peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity and mesentary covers the abdominal organs | 48 | |
