Cellular organelles (emphasis in protein synthesis), structure of the cell membrane.

1.      Match the following

____(a) cytoskeleton
____ (b) centrosome
____ (c) ribosomes
____ (d) rough ER
____ (e) smooth ER
____ (f) Golgi complex
____ (g) lysosomes
____ (h) peroxisomes
____ (i) mitochondria
____ (j) cilia
____ (k) flagellum
____ (l) proteasomes
____ (m) vesicles


(1) membrane-enclosed vesicles formed in the Golgi complex that contain strong hydrolytic
and digestive enzymes
(2) network of protein filaments that extend throughout the cytoplasm, providing cellular
shape, organization, and movement
(3) sites of protein synthesis
(4) contain enzymes that break apart unneeded, damaged, or faulty proteins into small
peptides
(5) site where secretory proteins and membrane molecules are synthesized
(6) membrane-enclosed vesicles that contain enzymes that oxidize various organic
substances
(7) short microtubular structures extending from the plasma membrane and involved in
movement of materials along the cell’s surface
(8) modifies, sorts, packages, and transports molecules synthesized in the rough ER
(9) an organizing center for growth of the mitotic spindle
(10) function in ATP generation
(11) functions in synthesizing fatty acids and steroids, helping liver cells release
glucose into the bloodstream, and detoxification
(12) membrane-bound sacs that transport, transfer, or secrete proteins
(13) long microtubular structure extending from the plasma membrane and involved in
movement of a cell
