Mitochondria - answer✔✔Primary energy maker, responsible for cellular respiration & energy
production, makes ATP
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - answer✔✔An endomembrane system where lipids are
synthesized, calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - answer✔✔An endomembrane system covered with ribosomes
where many proteins for transport are assembled.
Golgi apparatus - answer✔✔A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for
export by the cell
Lysosomes - answer✔✔originate in Golgi, 40 digestive/degradative enzymes that catalyze
proteins,
lipids, nucleic acids, carbs
Peroxisomes - answer✔✔Contain oxidative enzymes that detoxify compounds and fatty acids
and
breakdown substances into harmless products
Cytoskeleton - answer✔✔A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep
its shape, and aids in movement
Vesicles - answer✔✔small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and
within a cell
Vacuole - answer✔✔Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and
carbohydrates
Ribosomes - answer✔✔RNA protein complex that is responsible for protein synthesis (free &
attached)
Cell membrane (plasma membrane) - answer✔✔phospholipid bilayer that surrounds all cells and
regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Muscle Cells Function - answer✔✔• Movement
1. Can be striated (skeletal) or smooth (bowels, bronchi)
2. Can generate forces that produce motion
3. Can be smooth AND striated (diaphragm or intercostals)
Cardiac & Neuro Cells Function - answer✔✔• Conductivity
1. Stimulus causes excitation & electrical potential that passes along surface of cell to reach
destination
