“little organs”
Membrane bound structures within the
cytoplasm that have specialized functions.
Include:
Organelles
Mitochondria
One of largest organelles
Called “__________ of the cell”
◦ produces 95% of the cell’s energy (ATP)
Active cells have higher energy demands and therefore
more mitochondria.
Can divide through ____________ -or the pinching of
itself in half when the cells energy requirements increase.
Tend to be elliptical or round with an outer smooth
membrane and inner involuted membrane.
Inner membrane forms ____________ ,which increase
internal working area and the _________ (enzyme-rich
liquid housed in mitochondria that is used for
metabolism).
Cristae are site of ATP production
The more active the mitochondria, the
more cristae it has.
Mitochondria
Most numerous organelle in the cell.
Made of two glubular subunits composed
of _________ and ____ that fit together.
Site of _____________ synthesis.
◦ assemble amino acids into chains
instructed by the cell’s DNA
May be attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum (rough ER) or free in the
cytoplasm
Affects the destination of the protein.
Ribosomes
Series of flattened tubes stacked on one another and bent into a
crescent shape.
Walls are made of a lipid bilayer and are continuous with the
membrane of the nucleus.
◦ Rough ER is covered in ribosomes is involved in production of
____________, which then move into the ER (cisternae) where they
are modified before going to the Golgi apparatus.
◦ Smooth ER is connected to Rough ER and is active in synthesis and
storage of __________. Lacks ribosomes.
Endoplasmic
Reticulum (ER)
Modification, packaging, and distribution
center
Found near _________ and is similar in
structure to ER.
◦ stacks of flattened, crescent shaped cisternae
Receives and modifies proteins
produced by ER that is sent in sacs.
◦ sacs fuse with the Golgi apparatus and release
proteins into its cisternae
Once modification is completed, they are
packaged in __________ and travel out into
the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
Specialized vesicle formed by Golgi
apparatus.
Contain ____________ ____________.
Membrane fuses with engulfed bacteria or
cell nutrients and digests them.
Considered “__________ of the cell”.
When cells die, lysosomes within burst open
and enzymes are released into the cytosol.
◦ Enzymes digest organelles and nucleus of the cell
(____________).
Lysosomes
Membranous sacs containing enzymes that are found
throughout the cell.
Do not develop from Golgi. Instead come from peroxisomes
pinching in half.
◦ Remove _______ __________, normal products of
cellular metabolism but can be harmful in large
numbers (interfere with protein, lipid, and nucleic
acid structures).
2 major enzymes used:
◦ _________________-assist in conversion in free radicals
to hydrogen peroxide.
◦ _________________-reduce hydrogen peroxide to water.
