Cell Structure

Cards (34)

  • Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER.
  • The nucleus is located near the center of the cell; it is surrounded by the nuclear envelope.
  • The nucleus acts as the control center for the cell, housing genetic material, regulating gene expression, and overseeing the inheritance of traits during cell division.
  • Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms.
  • Mitochondria are located in the cytoplasm.
  • Adenosine triphosphate is considered the energy currency in the cell.
  • The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy for the cell in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration.
  • Mitochondria is often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
  • Mitochondria are also involved in the metabolic process and contribute to the overall health of the cell.
  • Additionally, mitochondria play a role in cellular regulation, helping control programmed cell death (apoptosis) to maintain cellular health and balance.
  • The rough endoplasmic reticulum Is a key part of eukaryotic cells, located in the cell’s cytoplasm and connected to the nucleus. The main job is to make proteins.
  • The rough endoplasmic reticulum is found in the cell's cytoplasm, often connected to the nuclear envelope.
  • The rough endoplasmic reticulum is like a protein factory that ensures that proteins are made correctly, contributing to the cell’s functioning and balance.
  • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum Found in the cell's cytoplasm, often connected to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
  • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes fats (lipids), including hormones and phospholipids.
  • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is like a lipid factory and detox center for the cell, playing a role in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium regulation.
  • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum processes drugs and toxins, helping neutralize harmful substances; this is called detoxification.
  • The Golgi body is located near the nucleus in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
  • The Golgi body acts like a postal service, ensuring proteins reach their correct destinations inside or outside the cell.
  • The golgi body edits and prepares proteins for their specific roles in the cell.
  • the Golgi body is like a traffic director and modification hub, ensuring proteins are correctly processed and sent to their proper places in the cell.
  • The cell membrane surrounds the cell, forming a boundary between the inside and outside.
  • The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, regulating the passage of substances.
  • The cell membrane acts as a protective barrier, regulating the passage of substances and facilitating communication between the cell and its surroundings.
  • Ribosome found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • Ribosome essential for making proteins that carry out various functions in the cell.
  • Ribosomes are like protein factories in the cell, responsible for assembling amino acids into proteins according to the cell's genetic instructions.
