AP Biology Test: Cells

chromosomes - ANS -large structures that DNA is organized into


nucleolus - ANS -structure within the nucleus where rRNA is made and
ribosomes are assembled


ribosomes - ANS -sites of protein synthesis


rough endoplasmic reticulum - ANS -studded with ribosomes, makes
proteins to be exported out of the cell


smooth endoplasmic reticulum - ANS -makes lipids, hormones, and
steroids and breaks down toxic chemicals


golgi bodies - ANS -modify, process, and sort products synthesized by
the rough ER


vesicles - ANS -little sacs that carry products to be exported to the
plasma mebrane

, mitochondria - ANS -powerhouse, convert energy from organic
molecules into useful energy for the cell


ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - ANS -the energy molecule in the cell


lysosomes - ANS -tiny sacs that carry digestive enzymes to break down
worn-out organelles, debris, or large ingested particles


centrioles - ANS -produce microtubules for cell division (only in animal
cells)


microtubule organizing centers (MTOC's) - ANS -where centrioles are
found


vacuoles - ANS -fluid filled sacs that store water, food, wastes, salts, or
pigments


peroxisomes - ANS -organelles that detoxify various substances


cytoskeleton - ANS -a network of fibers that hold the shape of a cell


microtubule - ANS -fibers that help in cellular division (centrioles, cilia,
flagella)
