Biology Chapter 6

DNA

Mitochondria convert the chemical energy of organic molecules to chemical energy in the form of ATP.

This is the nuclear envelope.

chromatin

nucleolus

Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.

As membrane proteins grow from ribosomes on rough ER, the proteins are embedded into the rough ER membrane.

The plasma membrane regulates the passage of material into and out of the cell.

Smooth ER

The Golgi apparatus modifies, stores, and packages products of the ER.

Microtubules are rods that also play a role in organelle movement.

Basal bodies and centrioles have identical structures.

Peroxisomes produce hydrogen peroxide as a by-product of their metabolic processes.

Microfilaments are a component of the cytoskeleton.

in lipid synthesis and processing and detoxifies drugs

secretory protein synthesis

Both have their own DNA.

cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts, central vacuole

centriole

plasma membrane, golgi, cytoskeleton, ER, nucleus & mitochondrion

created internal pressure and stores cell compounds, regulates cytoplasm composition

They have membranous sacs called thylakoids that are surrounded by a fluid called stroma. They are the sites of reactions that convert solar energy into chemical energy. They contain the green pigment chlorophyll.

nucleoid

lysosome, mitochondria, and nucleolus

Ribosoms, plasma membrane, flagella

intermediate filaments

microtubules

microfilaments

cell locomotion and the cell's structural characteristics.

intracellular highways for transporting vesicles and organelles; they are also required for cellular locomotion via flagella and cilia.

rope-like structures that anchor organelles and intercellular junctions called desmosomes. They are specialized for bearing tension.

tight junctions

desmosomes (anchoring junctions)

Gap (communicating) junctions

transferring of information from DNA to messenger RNA (Transcription)

lysosome
