animal cell

Cards (13)

  • list the structures in an animal cell
    nucleus
    mitochondria
    golgi apparatus
    ribosomes
    rough endoplasmic reticulum
    smooth endoplasmic reticulum
    vacuole
    centrosome
    microtubules
    lysosome
    cytoplasm
    cell membrane
  • name the components of the golgi apparatus
    golgi vesicle
    golgi apparatus
  • what are the components of the nucleus
    nucleus
    chromatin
    nucleolus
    nuclear envelope
    pores
  • structure of mitochondrion
    double membrane
    inner layer is folded into a cristae - sits in a liquid known as the matrix
    inner layer is coated in enzymes which catalyse reactions of aerobic respiration producing ATP
  • function of the ribosomes
    site of protein synthesis
  • function of the RER
    system of membranes enclosing a fluid-filled space
    coated in ribosomes
    folds and processes proteins
  • function of the SER
    similar to RER but no ribosomes
    synthesizes and processes lipids
  • function of the plasma membrane
    regulates movement of substances into and out of the cell
    receptor molecules to respond to chemicals like hormones
  • function of the nucleus
    controls the cell's activity
    nucleolus makes ribosomes
    pores allow movement of substances between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
  • function of the lysosome
    contains digestive hormones
    can be used to digest invading cells or to break down worn out components of the cell
  • function of the vesicle
    transports substances into and out of the cell and between organelles
  • function of the golgi apparatus
    processes and packages new lipids and proteins
    it also makes lysosomes
  • function of the centriole
    small hollow cylinders made of microtubules
    involved with the separation of chromosomes during cell division
