AP Biology Cell Unit Flashcards

5474457806	Chloroplast	Site of photosynthesis Converts solar energy into potential energy in the glucose molecule plant cells only	0
5474457807	Peroxisomes	makes hydrogen peroxide to detoxify alcohol or convert lipids to be used for energy plant and animal cells	1
5474457810	Plasmodesmata	holes and channels in the cell wall that connect adjacent cells; allows stuff to pass through plant cells only	2
5474457813	Gap Junctions	Connects two adjacent cells, allows subjects to pass through tunnels; animal cells only	3
5474457814	Contractile Vacuole	Osmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae	4
5474457815	Cell Membrane	Protects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins plant and animal	5
5474457816	Nucleus	Brain of cell contains dna plant and animal	6
5474457817	Nucleolus	Non-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus plant and animal	7
5474457818	Centrioles	Small microtubles arranged in specific ways aids in cell division Animal only	8
5474457819	Ribosomes	complexes that makes proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope plant and animal	9
5474457820	Golgi Apparatus	organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products Plant and animal	10
5474457821	Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum	network of membranous sacs and tubes active in transporting proteins; covered with ribosomes, where the proteins are made Plant and animal	11
5474474820	Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum	synthesizes lipids and hormones plant and animal	12
5474457822	Mitochondria	organelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated plant and animal	13
5474457823	Lysosomes	digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis	14
5474457824	Cytoskeleton	reinforces cell's shape;functions in cell movement; components are made of protein (microtubules and microfilaments) plant and animal	15
5474457828	Central Vacuole	Largest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only	16
5474457829	Cell Wall	outer layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only	17
5474457830	Cilia	located on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like plant and animal	18
5474457831	Flagellum	located on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles; 9 pair ring outside, 1 pair inside	19
