  32. endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
    a passageway for large molecules
  33. rough er
    has ribosomes; handles protein type molecules
  34. smooth er
    no ribosomes; handles non-protein stuff like fatty acids, phospholipids, and steriods
  35. golgi body
    packing site for proteins and lipids
  36. lysosome
    site of digestive enzymes
  37. phagocytosis
    cell eating; lysosomes digesting outside material
  38. autolysis
    a cell intentionally releases lysosomes in order to destroy the entire cell
  39. autophagy
    a celll intentionally release lysosomes in order to destroy its old organelle
  40. tay sachs diesase
    person i missing one enzyme in the lysosome, ganglioside builds up in nerve cells, especially in the brain
  41. food vacuole
    holds food
  42. contractile vacuole
    used to pump water out of many protists
  43. central vacuole
    holds water for plant cells
  44. other vacuoles may hold
    pigments, toxins, proteins, or metabolic by products
  45. mitochondria
    where cellular energy is produced
  46. chloroplasts
    site of photosynthesis; only in plants and gree algae
  47. peroxisomes
    similar to lysosomes except they contain peroxidases, which breaks down peroxides
  48. cytoskeleton
    network of protein fibers tha give shpae to the cell
  49. microfilaments
    small protein filaments; used in muscle contractions and cell division
  50. microtubles
    larger filaments with a hole in them; used in chromosom movements during cell division, cilia, and flagella
  51. cilia
    many, short microtubles; paramecium
  52. flagella
    single long microtuble; sperm and some bacteria
  53. basal body
    anchors cilia and flagella to cell
  54. centrioles
    function in cell reproduction
