Organelle Functions

Define

AB
lysosomesdigestion, recycling
Mitochondriaenergy conversion
Chloroplastenergy conversion
manufactures membranesgolgi apparatus
centriolein centrosome, they help to pull the spindle fibers to opp. ends of cell during mitosis
site for photosynthesisgranum (inside the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast)
vacuolestores nutrients, food, molecules, sugar (large central one in plant cells and temporary ones in animal cells)
ribosomessynthesize or produce proteins
plant supportlarge central vacuole along with cell wall
surrounds and bathes organellescytoplasm
cytoskeletonanchors the organelles and gives cell its shape and structure
genetic informationchromosomes (nucleus contains them)
cell membranecontrols flow of ions and molecules in and out of cell
movementflagella (and cytoskeleton)
break down amino acids and fats so the mitochondria can extract electrons from them and make energyperoxisomes
golgi vesiclescarry the proteins and process them and make them ready to ship out from the RER through the cell membrane
lipid synthesis, drug detoxificationSER
desmosonescell-cell connection
osmosisthe apparently uninterrupted diffusion of water through the semi-permeable membranes of cells
ciliashort flagella - helps move material along cell or tissue
concentration gradientthe difference in concentration
substances move down their concentration gradient through the appropriate transport proteinspassive transport
active transportsubstances move through transport proteins, but against their concentration gradient (lower -> higher)
if transport protein acts as carriers and moves the molecules down their concentration gradient (like diffusion) (type of passive transport)facilitated diffusion
interphaselongest stage of mitosis, cell carries out normal metabolic activities and carries out preparations for cell division
time of cell growth just following divisonGrowth 1 (part of interphase)
Synthesis (part of interphase)exact copy of DNA is made, nucleus content doubled, replications ensure identical and complex set of genes available to new offspring
protein, RNA, and other macromolecules are synthesized (smaller amounts than in G1)Growth 2
Mitosis PhaseChromosomes visible in this phase in light microscope
prophasechromosomes condense, nuclear envelope begins to disappear, spindle (diamond-shaped structure of microtubules) form
chromosomes arrane in plane across center of cell, perpendicular to the spindlemetaphase
anaphasecentromeres dvide, microtubules attached to each centromere pull sister chromatids toward opp ends of cell
chromosomes gather at opp sides of cell, new nuclear envelope forms around each group of chromosomestelophase
cleavage furrowdivsion of animal cell (forms from out to in)
cell platedivsion of plant cell (forms from in to out)
diploid (2n)46 chromosomes - full set
haploid (n)23 chomosomes - half diploid
gametessperm, eggs
