CELL ORGANELLES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
Cards (26)
- What is the plural of nucleolus?
- It is found in the cell's nucleus; its primary function is to produce and assemble the cell's ribosomes.
- It is involved in the transportation of the cell -- it transports different substances.
- It is where ribosomes attach; it is primarily involved in protein synthesis; and is located near the nucleus.
- It do not associate with ribosomes and makes cellular products such as lipids and hormones.
- It is created by the nucleolus and are protein synthesizers of the cell; it move freely, attach, and detach to rough endoplasmic reticulum; and gathers amino acid through translation.
- How do ribosomes gather amino acids?
- It is known as the post office of the cell, as it is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations.
- What cell organelles are not present in Animal Cells?
- What cell organelle is not present in Plant Cells?
- This organelle helps in storage and disposal of various substances; stores food, water, and nutrients - the reservoir of protein, sugar, and other substances.
- It keeps the cell clean by digesting any foreign materials as well as worn-out cell organelles. It contains powerful digestive enzymes capable of breaking down all organic material, hence are called 'suicide bags' of the cell.
- It is the powerhouse of the cell as it produces the Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the energy currency of the cell.
- What is the energy currency of the cell.
- This theory states that mitochondria have their own DNA, ribosomes, and such.
- It is a fold in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion.
- This double-membrane organelle is the site of photosynthesis and produces energy for plant growth, development, and defense. It has a pigment called 'chlorophyll' which makes it green.
- It facilitates the movement of molecules.
- It provides a structural framework for the cell; serves as a backbone; and helps maintain the shape and internal organization of the cell.
- It is an oxidative organelle and is a major source of metabollic energy.
- It is a small sac formed by a membrane and filled with liquid.
- It is responsible for assisting cell movement and is only present in animal cells.
- It is made up of a protein called 'actin.'
- It supports cell to move; provides shape or structure for cell; and is made of protein called 'tubulin.'
- These are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells. It is primarily restriced for cell division.
