| Term | Definition |
|---|
| cell membrane | maintains integrity of the cell, controls teh passage of materials into and out of the cell, and provides for signal transduction |
| ribosomes | particles composed of protein and RNA molecules |
| ribosomes | synthesis proteins |
| endoplasmic reticulum | complex of connected membrane-bound sacs, canals and vesicles |
| endoplasmic reticulum | transports materials in the cell, provides attachment for ribosomes, and synthesizes lipids |
| rough er | studded with many ribosomes |
| rough er | sites of protein synthesis |
| smooth er | contains enzymes important in synthesizing lipids, absorbing fats from the digestive tract and breaking down drugs |
| smooth er | abundant in liver cells that break down alcohol and drugs |
| vesicles | contain substances that recently entered the cell, store, and transport newly synthesized lipids |
| golgi apparatus | group of flattened, membranous sacs |
| golgo apparatus | packages and modified protein molecules for transport and secretion |
| mitochondria | membranous sacs with inner partitions |
| mitochondria | release energy from food molecules and covert the energy into a usable form |
| lysosomes | contain enzymes capable of digesting worn cellular parts or substances that enter cells |
| peroxisomes | contain enzymes, important in teh breakdown of many organic molecules |
| peroxisomes | breakdown lipids with long chain of fatty acids |
| peroxisomes | degradation of rare biochemicals and detoxification of the alcohol |
| mitochondria | inner layer is folded intensively to form a shelf like portion called cristae |
| mitochondria | knows how to transform the energy of a byproduct of thes reactions and conserve it in the chemical molecular form called ATP |
| ribosomes | some float freely in the cytoplasm |
| rough er | developed in the cells where the intensive fabrication of proteins is the most required for export. |
| smooth er | cholesterol is synthesized here |
| smooth er | fat is broken down for metabolic purposes and drugs are neuralized |
| centrosomes | helps distribute chromosomes to new cells during cell division, initiates formation of cilia |
| centrosomes | during cell division process, they move away from each other and occupy the opposite place. They surround with "spindle fibers" which will direct the move of the chromosomes |
| microfilaments and microtubules | support cytoplasm, help move substances and organelles within the cytoplasm |
| nuclear envelope | maintains the integrity of the nucleus, controls the passage of materials between the nucleus and cytoplasm |
| chromatin | carries information for synthesizing proteins |
