Spherical region in nucleoplasm that manufactures ribosomal DNA and assembles ribosomes. May be more than one in a cell

Card 7
Front
'Jelly' or 'soup' where organelles reside and cellular metabolism occurs. Made of water, proteins, glycolysis, intracellular receptors and transcription factors. Communicates with nucleus via nuclear pores
Back
Card 8
Front
Ring of nine microtubules fused together and are part of the cytoskeleton. In complete centrisome, these are parallel to each other
Back
Card 9
Front
Protect the cell from own production of hydrogen peroxide, like white blood cells to kill bacteria. Oxidative enzymes break the H.Peroxide into water and oxygen
Back
Card 10
Front
Rod shaped organelles, usually 1-10 micrometres in length. This is the site of the stages of aerobic resp. and is responsible for ATP production. High in cells with high metabolic activity
Back
Card 11
Front
Around the mitochondria, controls material entry/exit. Inner membrane folds to form cristae. Is a phospholipid bilayer emedded with proteins
Back
Card 12
Front
Extentions of the mitochondria's inner membrane. Can extend across the whole width. Large SA for enzymes and respiatory ennzymes
Back
Card 13
Front
Make up the remainder of the mitochondria. Has proteins, lipids, ribosomes and DNA to control the production of its own proteins. Respiatory enzymes may be here
Back
Card 14
Front
Carries out photosynthesis. Typically disc shape, 2-10 microm. long and 1 microm in diameter. They have their own DNA, ribosomes and double membrane. Not found in fungi or animals
Back
Card 15
Front
Double plasma membrane surrounding the chloroplast. Highly selective in what enters/exits cell
