Which organelles contain DNA?
Nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts
1 of 15
SER structure
No ribosomes, non-uniformed
2 of 15
SER function
Synthesises lipids and steroids
3 of 15
RER structure
Uniformed, covered in ribosomes
4 of 15
RER function
Protein synthesis: RNA is transported to ribosomes.
5 of 15
Chloroplasts: Stacks of ________ (fluid-filled disks)?
Thylakoids
6 of 15
Stacks of ________ are known as...?
Grana
7 of 15
Chlorophyll is found...?
...On the membranes of thylakoids.
8 of 15
Mitochondria structure
Double membrane; inner membrane folds inwards to form cristae; space between cristae is matrix.
9 of 15
Mitochondria function
Respiration occurs in matrix and inner membrane. ATP is produced. Ribosomes and DNA are present so that mitochondria can be reproduced.
10 of 15
Lysosome
Single membrane containing catabolic enzymes that are released into the cell if it is damaged.
11 of 15
Functions of golgi body
Produces secretory enzymes packed into secretory vesicles; secretes carbohydrates; produces glycoprotein; transports and stores lipids; forms lysosomes.
12 of 15
Structure of the nucleus
Nuclear envelope (double membrane) with nuclear pores; nucleolus; nucleoplasm (containing chromatin).
13 of 15
Functions of the nucleolus
Synthesises ribosomal RNA for ribosome production.
14 of 15
Which organism are centrioles found in?
Animals, NOT plants.
