Animal cell

Cards (21)

  • Nuclear envelope:
    • Membrane enclosing the nucleus
    • Protein-lined pores allow material to move in and out
  • Chromatin:
    • DNA plus associated proteins
  • Nucleolus:
    • Condensed region where ribosomes are formed
  • Peroxisome:
    • Metabolizes waste
  • 2 types of Endoplasmic reticulum: Rough and Smooth
  • Plasma membrane:
    • Provides protection for a cell
  • Lysosome:
    • Digests food and waste materials
  • Golgi apparatus:
    • Modifies proteins
  • Cytoplasm:
    • Responsible for cell shape, material transport, cellular respiration, and storage
    • Cell expansion, growth, and replication
  • Mitochondria:
    • Produce energy
  • Vacuole:
    • Take in waste products and also get rid of waste products
  • The nucleus is the control centre of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that controls all activities within the cell.
  • Rough ER is a network of membrane-bound sacs that synthesize proteins and transport them to the Golgi apparatus
  • Rough ER is associated with ribosomes; makes secretory and membrane 
  • Smooth ER makes lipids
  • Cytoskeleton for animal cells is composed of microtubules, centrosome, intermediate filament, and microfilaments
  • Microtubules forms the mitotic spindle and maintain cell shape
  • Centrosome is a microtubule-organizing center
  • Intermediate filaments are fibrou proteins that hold organelles in place
  • Microfilaments form the cellular cortex and are fibrous proteins
  • Cytoskeleton in plant cells are composed of microtubules, intermediate filament, and microfilaments
