Ch 6 Cell structures

Use these activities to help you learn the functions of the important cell structures.

AB
ChloroplastSite of photosynthesis
CiliaShort numerous microtubules extensions of a cell that can move the cell
Communicating junctionsPores that allow water and small molecules to pass between animal cells
Cytoskeleton- MicrofilamentsHelical proteins that can change the shape of an amoeba, white blood cell or an animal cell
Cytoskeleton- Intermediate filamentsFibrous proteins that can anchor organelles in the cell
Cytoskeleton- MicrotubulesHollow tubes of globular proteins that form centrioles, cilia and flagella
Endoplasmic Reticulum – RoughInvolved in making new cell membrane proteins and secretory proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum – SmoothInvolved in the production of lipids (including hormones)and detoxification of drugs and other poisons
FlagellaLong microtubules extensions of a cell that can move the cell – such as a sperm cell
Golgi apparatusFlatten sacs that can modify and distribute products of the endoplasmic reticulum
LysosomeSac of digestive enzymes that can digest food and recycle cell organelles
MitochondriaSite of cellular respiration which releases ATP
NucleusStructure that holds the chromosomes in eukaryotic cells
NucleolusFibers and granules that produces the components of ribosomes
PlasmodesmataPores that allow water and small molecules to pass between plant cells
RibosomeResponsible for the production of proteins
Tight junctionsBind animal cells together
VacuoleMembranous structures that store water or organic nutrients
VesicleMembranous sac that transports material in the cell
