Introduction to Eukaryotic Organelles exam Flashcards

Cells that contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus.

Organelles found only in animal cells that contain digestive enzymes.

Organelles found only in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis.

To build proteins through the process of translation.

A group of organelles involved in protein and lipid synthesis, including the ER and Golgi apparatus.

An organelle with ribosomes attached, involved in protein synthesis.

An organelle involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

Organelles that contain enzymes to break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances.

An organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

To generate ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy for the cell.

A rigid layer found outside the cell membrane in plant cells, providing structural support and protection.

A network of protein filaments that provide structural support and facilitate cell movement.

Thin protein fibers that play a role in cell movement and shape.

Hollow tubes that help maintain cell shape and are involved in intracellular transport and cell division.

Protein fibers that provide mechanical support for the cell.

Cell junctions that create a watertight seal between adjacent cells.

Cell junctions that attach cells to each other or to the extracellular matrix.

Channels that allow for direct communication between adjacent cells.

Channels between plant cells that allow for transport and communication.

To store genetic information and control cellular activities.

Storage organelles in cells, larger in plant cells, used for storing nutrients, waste products, and maintaining turgor pressure.

The process by which ribosomes build proteins from mRNA.

Ribosomes that are free-floating in the cytoplasm and synthesize proteins that function within the cytoplasm.

Ribosomes attached to the rough ER, synthesizing proteins destined for secretion or for use in lysosomes.

To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

The process by which proteins are synthesized, modified, and transported out of the cell.

Organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts involved in energy production and conversion.

The process involving lysosomes and peroxisomes to break down macromolecules and detoxify substances.

To modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
