Functions of the Golgi Apparatus |
Acts as a receiving dock and a shipping dock. As products go through the Golgi they are modified |
|
Functions of lysosomes |
Sac of digestive enzymes that digest food, and get rid of waste, break down bacteria |
|
Functions of mitochondria |
Makes energy in the form of ATP |
|
Function of chloroplasts |
Photosynthesis (converts light energy to chemical sugar energy) |
|
Function of Cytoskeleton (cilia, flagella, and centrioles in animal cells) |
Maintain cell shape, cell movement, transmissions of signals from the exterior of the cell to the interior |
|
Function of the Extracellular Matrix (in animals) |
Binds cells together and protects the plasma membrane |
|
Functions of cell junctions |
communication between cells, and binds cells together. |
|
Functions of cell wall (plants) |
Maintain cell shape, support, protect |
|
What is the overview for this chapter? |
Cells are made up of organelles which are used to manufacture, break down, and get energy from substances, support, and move the cell, communicate between cells. |
|
Robert Hooke |
Named cells after the tiny rooms in monestaries |
|
Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek |
Saw that cells could move |
|
What do hair cells require a lot of? |
Ribosomes. hair oil is made by the smooth ER |
|
What ships, folds, and rearranges amino acids/ |
Golgi, DOES NOT PUT TOGETHER, RIBOSOMES DO!!!!!! |
|
Function of contractile vacuole |
Get rid of water in a cell (plants usually) |

Anchoring junctions are also called ... |
desmosomes |

Bound ribosomes are... |
attached to the rough ER |

Vacuoles |
are small membrane segments that transfer info between organelles |
|
Pigment vacuoles in plants |
make flowers colored |
|
Central vacuoles..... |
use pressure to help the cell stay firm |
|
Cellular respiration occurs in |
the mitochondria |
|
Two important fibers of the cytoskeleton are |
Microfilament (rope) (made of actin) Microtubules (made of tubulin) |

ECM makes... |
collagen (makes skin tight) and protects the plasma membrane. |
|
Integrins |
integrate signals and messages on the membrane |
|
All living things require |
proteins |
