Cards

Term



lysosome

Definition



Vesicles that are found mainly in animal cells.  They digest wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders.

Term



vacuoles

Definition

Another type of vesicle found in cells.

In plant cells, a vacuole acts like a lysosome: store digestive enzymes, and help with digestion within the cell.

The large central vacuole in plant cells stores water and other liquids.

Term



Golgi complex

Definition


The organelle that processes and transports materials within and out of the cell.

Term



chloroplast

Definition


Found ONLY in plant cells.


The organelle that uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food.

Term



mitochondrion

Definition

 

 

The organelle that breaks down food molecules to make ATP.

Term

 

 

 

Endoplasmic reticulum

Definition

The organelle that:

  • makes lipids
  • breaks down toxic substances
  • packages proteins for the Golgi complex

Term



nucleus

Definition


 

In a eukaryotic cell, the organelle that contains the cell's DNA.

Term



vesicle

Definition



A small sac that surrounds material to be moved into or out of the cell.

Term



cytoskeleton

Definition



A web of proteins in the cytoplasm of some cells.  Many of the organelles attach to the cytoskeleton.

Term



cell wall

Definition


Found only in plant cells.


A rigid structure that gives support to the cell.
