Nucleus
Structure | Function |
|---|---|
Nucleolus | Produces ribosomes |
Nuclear Envelope | Double Membrane to protect the nucleus from damage |
Nuclear Pores | Allows molecules to move in and out of the Nucleus. (DNA leaves as RNA) |
Chromatin | DNA loosely wrapped around a histone |
Term | Description |
|---|---|
Chromatin | DNA loosely wrapped around a histone protein |
Chromatid | One of the two identical halves of a chromosome |
Chromosome | DNA tightly wrapped around a histone protein |
Mitochondria
Term | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Mitochondria | Site of cellular respiration- produces ATP | |
Mitochondrial envelope | Double membrane | |
Cristae | Inner membrane folds to create cristae | |
mtDNA | Mitochondria contain circular DNA in small amounts | |
Matrix | Mitochondria’s cytoplasm |
Golgi Apparatus
Term | Structure | Function |
|---|---|---|
Golgi Apparatus | Contains cisternae and NO RIBOSOMES | Modifies proteins and sends them out of the cell through exocytosis. Used in Protein synthesis. |
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Term | Definition | |
|---|---|---|
SER | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, No ribosomes attached | |
RER | Rough, Ribosomes attached, used in Protein synthesis. |
