Ap Biology: Cell Organelles Flashcards

7760121038	Chloroplast	Site of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only	0
7760121039	Peroxisomes	makes hydrogen peroxide to detoxify alcohol or convert lipids to be used for energy plant and animal cells	1
7760121040	Amyloplast	Stores starch amylose and turns in into glucosec some plant cells	2
7760121041	Chromoplast	Responsible for the colors in plant 4 to 5 um plant cells only	3
7760121042	Plasmodesmata	holes and channels in the cell wall that connect adjacent cells; allows stuff to pass through plant cells only	4
7760121043	Tight Junctions	Establish barriers that prevents leakage between cells animal cells only	5
7760121044	Desmosomes	Joins two cells together by the cytoskeleton joins by rivets into strong sheets animal cells only	6
7760121045	Gap Junctions	Connects two adjacent cells, allows subjects to pass through tunnels; animal cells only	7
7760121046	Contractile Vacuole	Osmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae	8
7760121047	Cell Membrane	Protects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins	9
7760121048	Nucleus	Brain of cell contains dna	10
7760121049	Nucleolus	Non-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus	11
7760121050	Centrioles	Small microtubles arranged in specific ways aids in cell division Animal only	12
7760121051	Ribosomes	complexes that makes proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope	13
7760121052	Golgi Apparatus	organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products	14
7760121053	Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough+Smooth	network of membranous sacs and tubes active in making and transporting proteins and lipids	15
7760121054	Mitochondria	organelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated	16
7760121055	Lysosomes	digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only	17
7760121057	Microtubles	chromosome movement, cell division processes, and maintains cell shape MOVING CELL PARTS	18
7760121058	Microfilaments	helps with cell movement, gives shape,cytoplasmic streaming Thinnest filament thin, solid rods actin, myosin INVOLVED in MUSCLE CONTRACTION	19
7760121059	Intermediate Filaments	shape cell, maintains positions of some organelles proteins (keratin) in coils	20
7760121060	Central Vacuole	Largest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only	21
7760121061	Cell Wall	outer layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only	22
7760121062	Cilia	located on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like	23
7760121063	Flagellum	located on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles; 9 pair ring outside, 1 pair inside	24
7760121064	Centrosome	made of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division	25
7760121065	Prokaryote	no membrane bound organelles, no nucleus, free ribosomes and cell wall, single circular DNA	26
7760121066	Eukaryote	membrane bound organelles, multiple linear DNA, histones on DNA	27
