AP Bio Plant Cell Flashcards

7834893644	Golgi Apparatus	modifies, sorts and packages cell products (particularly proteins)	0
7834899536	Chloroplast	photosynthetic organelle; converts energy of sunlight to chemical energy stored in sugar molecules	1
7834912718	Central Vacuole	prominent organelle in older plant cells; functions include storage, breakdown of waste, hydrolysis of macromolecules; enlarges for plant growth	2
7834921891	Peroxisome	organelle with various metabolic functions; produces hydrogen peroxide as a by-product and then converts it to water	3
7835526949	Nucleolus	makes ribosomes	4
7835541287	Chromatin	uncoiled DNA and proteins; visible in a dividing cell as individual condensed chromosomes	5
7835550749	Nuclear Envelope	double membrane enclosing the nucleus; contains nuclear pores; connects to the ER	6
7835555839	Mitochondria	location of cellular respiration; produces ATP	7
7835596624	Cytoskeleton	composed of 3 protein components; microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments; reinforces cell shape; aids in cell movement	8
7835612605	Rough ER	network of membranous sacs and tubes that contains ribosomes; site of protein synthesis	9
7835619784	Smooth ER	lacks ribosomes; aids in carb & lipid synthesis; detoxifies	10
7835627824	plasmodesmata	cytoplasmic channels through cell walls that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells	11
7835633265	Cell Membrane	controls what goes in/out of a cell; maintains homeostasis	12
7835648057	Cell Wall	outer layer of plant cell that maintains cell shape and protects cell from damage; made of cellulose	13
