Ap Biology Cell Organelles Flashcards

8740757309	Chloroplast	Site of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only	0
8740757310	Contractile Vacuole	Osmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae	1
8740757311	Cell Membrane	Protects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal	2
8740757312	Nucleus	Contains the DNA in a eukaryote cell.	3
8740757313	Nucleolus	Non-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal	4
8740757314	Centrioles	Helps organize microtubules during cell division Animal only	5
8740757315	Ribosomes	Site of translation (protein synthesis); made from proteins and rRNA	6
8740757316	Golgi Apparatus	organelle active in modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products	7
8740757317	Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum	network of membranous sacs and tubes that makes and stores lipids	8
8740757318	Mitochondria	organelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated	9
8740757319	Lysosomes	digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only	10
8740757320	Cytoskeleton	reinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of microfilaments	11
8740757321	Central Vacuole	Largest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it stores water plant only	12
8740757322	Cell Wall	outer layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only	13
8740757324	Flagellum	located on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles	14
8740757326	Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum	network of membranous sacs and tubes that has ribosomes attached. Proteins are modified, tagged and sent to other parts of the cell.	15
