Relier Pairs Structures and FunctionsVersion en ligne Match structures to functions par Gail Rosewood 1 Nucleus: Contains the cell's DNA, separating it from the rest of the cell 2 Leukocyte: Can reach out with its cell membrane to capture invaders; contains many lysosomes (organelles filled with digestive enzymes) 3 Plasma membrane: Flexible and does not mix with water 4 Mitochondria: Full of ATP synthase, with lots of folds to increase surface area for chemical reactions 5 Intestinal cell: Contains many transport proteins and has long finger-like structures called microvilli 6 Cardiac muscle cells: Contain many mitochondria 7 Carbon atoms: Can bind to 4 other atoms 8 Neurons: Long and branching, with receptor proteins on the outside Form complex molecules Constantly moving in order to pump blood through the body Makes sure the right proteins are made at the right time Can break down captured invaders after it "eats" them to defend the body Separates the inside of the cell from the environment; changes shape to let nutrients in and wastes out Can connect with many other cells all over the body to send signals between the body and the brain Generate energy for the cell Can absorb nutrients from outside the body and bring them inside the body
