AP Organelles Flashcards

7556898090	Endomembrane System	A network of membranes inside a eukaryotic cell, related either through direct physical contact or by the transfer of membranous vesicles. (Nuclear Envelope; RER; Smooth ER; Vesicles; Golgi)	0
7556898091	Ribosome	Composed of Large and Small subunits; responsible for protein synthesis	1
7556898092	Mitochondria	Contains structures such as the cristae, inner membrane, out membrane, and matrix. Location of aerobic respiration.	2
7556898093	Golgi Apparatus	Receives vesicles and their contents from smooth ER , modifies them, repackages them into vesicles and distributes them to the plasma membrane by exocytosis	3
7556898094	Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum	System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm	4
7556898095	Chloroplast	Membrane bound organelle that contains stroma, thylakoids, grana, and chlorophyll. Photosynthetic organelle that was acquired via endosymbiotic theory.	5
7556898098	lysosome	membranous organelle with hydrolytic enzymes that digests macromolecules such as complex lipids or proteins.	6
7556898099	Nuclear Envelope	Portion of the endomembrane system that houses DNA. Contains nuclear pores to allow mRNA to travel in and out	7
7556898101	Centriole	cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.	8
7556898102	Cytoskeleton	Network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement.	9
7556898105	Cellulose Cell Wall	Made of the polysaccharide cellulose. Provides structural support in plants.	10
7556898106	Cell Junctions	connections between cells that hold the cells together as a unit	11
7556898109	gap junction	Points that provide cytoplasmic channels from one cell to another with special membrane proteins. Also called communicating junctions.	12
7556898110	Extracellular Matrix	The substance in which animal tissue cells are embedded, consisting of protein and polysaccharides.	13
7556926325	Smooth ER	membranous organelle responsible for lipid synthesis, storage of calcium and detoxification of poisons.	14
7556931444	Vacuole	organelle that can store various materials, helps plant cells maintain their shape.	15
7556945512	Plasmodesmata	junctions between plant cells.	16
7556951521	Cilia or Flagella	small short hairs or long whip like projections that aid in cell motility.	17
