Glycolysis occurs in every living cell and produces...
ATP
1 of 13
Eukaryotes
have plasma membrane, cytoplasm and ribosomes, membrane-bound nucleus, organelles + a cytoskeleton.
2 of 13
The nucleus is...
largest organelle in cell, contains DNA, replicates DNA + first steps in decoding for protein production
3 of 13
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
studded with ribosomes, segregates newly synthesized proteins and transports them to other areas, chemically modifies proteins
4 of 13
What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum do?
chemical modification of small molecules, site of glycogen hydrolysis + synthesis of lipids and steroids
5 of 13
What are the functions/characteristics of ribosomes in prokaryotic cells?
float freely in cell cytoplasm, site of protein synthesis
6 of 13
What are the functions/characteristics of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells?
Found free, attached to e.r., or inside mitochondria + chloroplasts, site of protein synthesis
7 of 13
What is the function of the golgi apparatus?
receives proteins and may further modify them, concentrates, packages and sorts proteins, synthesis of polysaccharides
8 of 13
What are lysosomes?
vesicles containing digestive enzymes
9 of 13
What are mitochondria?
have independent genome, energy stores converted into ATP
10 of 13
What are plastids?
organelles found only in plants and some protists
11 of 13
What is the function of a chloroplast?
site of photosynthesis
12 of 13
What are the functions of a vacuole?
storage, structure, reproduction, digestion
