Eukaryotic cells - membrane bound organelles

?
What is the function of the nucleolus?
where ribosomes are made and contains RNA
1 of 21
What is the function of the nuclear envelope?
to separate the contents of the nucleus from the rest of the cell, substances can leave the cell through nuclear pores
2 of 21
What is the structure of the nucleus?
surrounded by a double membrane, pores in the membrane
3 of 21
What is the function of the RER?
intracellular transport system, provides large surface area for amino acids to me assembled into proteins
4 of 21
What is the structure of the RER?
coated in ribosomes fluid filled cavities called cisternae
5 of 21
What is the function of the SER?
enzymes catalyse reactions involved in lipid metabolism, synthesis of cholesterol, lipids and steroid hormones
6 of 21
What is the structure of the SER?
system of membranes, fluid filled cavities called cisternae, no ribosomes on surface
7 of 21
What is the function of the golgi apparatus?
modification of proteins, go into vesicles to be carried outside cells
8 of 21
What is the function of the mitochondria?
powerhouse of the cell, produces ATP during aerobic respiration
9 of 21
What is the structure of the mitochondria?
folded inner membrane called cristae, inner part is called matrix
10 of 21
What is the function of the chloroplasts?
site of photosynthesis, in first stage light in trapped in the chlorophyll and used to make ATP
11 of 21
What is the structure of the chloroplasts?
found only in plant cells, inner membrane made from stacks of sacs called thylakoids that contain chlorophyll, fluid filled matrix called stroma
12 of 21
What is the function of the vacuole?
only in plants, cell stability
13 of 21
What is the structure of the vacuole?
membrane called tonoplast surrounds it and contains fluid
14 of 21
What is the function of the lysosomes?
engulf old cell organelles and foreign matter, digest them and return them to the cell for reuse
15 of 21
What is the function of cilia and undulipodia?
movement, waft to transport substances such as mucus containing dirt down the trachea for digestion
16 of 21
What is the function of the ribosomes?
synthesis of proteins
17 of 21
What is the structure of ribosomes?
20mn diameter, made of ribosomal RNA
18 of 21
What is the function of centrioles?
formation of cilia and undulipodia, process of mitosis and meiosis
19 of 21
What is the function of the cytoskeleton?
support and mechanical strength, shape, allow cell movement, communication
20 of 21
What is the function of the cellulose cell wall?
strong and prevents plant cells from bursting when turgid, maintains shape, are permeable
