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