Flashcards
0/12
Nucleus
Stores genetic material and coordinates cellular activities.
Mitochondria
Produces ATP via aerobic respiration and regulates cellular metabolism.
Chloroplast
Conducts photosynthesis to convert solar energy into chemical energy as glucose.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Involved in protein and lipid synthesis; rough ER is studded with ribosomes and smooth ER is not.
Golgi Apparatus
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.
Lysosomes
Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Ribosomes
Synthesize proteins by facilitating the linkage of amino acids.
Peroxisomes
Break down fatty acids and amino acids through oxidative reactions, producing hydrogen peroxide.
Cytoskeleton
Provides structural support, enables cellular movement, and aids in cell division and organelle transport.
Vacuoles
Stores nutrients and waste products, helps in cell growth and protection, and maintains hydrostatic pressure in plant cells.
Centrosome
Organizes microtubules and provides structure for the cytoskeleton, playing critical roles during cell division.
Plasma Membrane
Protects the cell from its surroundings, regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, and facilitates cell signaling.
