Biology

26 Terms

1

Nucleus

  • center of cell

  • includes nucleus envelope, nucleolus, and nuclear pores

  • Has a double membrane

  • houses DNA and controls cell activities.

  • Controls protein synthesis, produces mRNA and tRNA

  • Manufactures rRNA and ribosomes

New cards
2

nucleolus

  • Centre organelle inside nucleus

  • Assembles ribosomes

  • Synthesizes RNA

New cards
3

Nucleoplasm

  • A jelly like substance that makes up the bulk of the nucleus.

New cards
4

Function of the nucleus

  • Store the Dna

  • Control the cell activities

  • Manufacture rRNA and ribosomes

  • Control centre for protein synthesis

  • Production of mRNA and tRNA

New cards
5

Nuclear envelope

  • double membrane

  • has pores

  • continuation onto ER

  • Surrounds the nucleus

  • provide entry and exit of proteins and RNA through pores

New cards
6

Nuclear pores

Allow large molecules to pass, such as mRNA out the nucleus.

New cards
7

Ribosome

  • Made of 2 sub units

  • Made by the nucleulus

  • membrane bound to the RER or free

  • Site for protein translation.

  • Made out of rRNA and protein

New cards
8

Function of ribosomes

Protein translation

New cards
9

Cell membrane

  • "selective permeability"

  • multi layer

  • surrounds cytoplasm - lipids, proteins, carbs

  • Chemical reactions happen here

New cards
10

Cell wall

  • provides structure and support to cells under osmotic pressure

  • Plant cell wall made if Cellulose

  • Fungi cell wall made of Chetin

New cards
11

Mitochondria structure

  • Has a double membrane

  • Has Cristae, matrix, inner and outer membrane.

New cards
12

Mitochondria function

Supply the cell with energy from aerobic respiration.

New cards
13

Chloroplast

  • Has a double membrane

  • stroma: inside space

  • thylakoid system: connect thylakoid membrane in grana, convert light energy into chemical energy

  • chlorophyll: helps process of photosynthesis

New cards
14

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

  • photosynthesis

  • produce proteins and lipids required for production of chloroplast membrane

New cards
15

Cytoskeleton - general role

  • made up of microtubules,

  • support to cell and maintain its internal structure

  • Provides tracks by which vesicles are carried around inside the cell

New cards
16

Centrisome

  • Made up of 2 centrioles

  • Which allow the mitotic spindle to form for mitosis and cytokenisis

New cards
17

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

  • network of membranes that contains ribosomes

  • produce proteins for cell

  • Has membrane bound ribosomes to translate proteins from mRNA

New cards
18

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

  • contains tubular membranes

  • does not have ribosomes on the surface

  • plays role in synthesis of carbohydrates and lipids

New cards
19

Golgi apparatus

  • made up of series of stacked cisternae

  • located in cytoplasm next to endoplasmic reticulum

  • transportation, modification, packaging of lipids and proteins into vesicles to deliver diff. destination in cell

New cards
20

Lysosome

  • membrane bound organelle contains digestive enzymes and lysozyme.

  • breaks down excess cell parts and worn out cell parts

New cards
21

Vacuoles

  • space within cell

  • empty of cytoplasm

  • lined with membrane, filled with fluid

New cards
22

The mitochondria matrix

Contains protein, lipids ribosomes and Dna- that allows the

New cards
23

Cristae

Extensions of the inner membrane which provides a large surface area for enzymes and proteins to attach during respiration

New cards
24

Tonoplast

The membrane that surrounds th vacuole

New cards
25

Stroma

The matrix in a cholorplast

New cards
26

Granum/Grana

A series of stacked thylakoids
