Term
What are Organelles?
Definition
Cell structure that performs a specific function for the cell
Term
Cell wall
Definition
  • The cell wall protects and supports the cell
  • Allows water and other molecules to pass througn
  • Only in plant and bacteria cells
Term
Cell membrane
Definition
  • Seperates the insides from the external environment
  • Controls the flow of materials in and out of the cell

 

Term
Nucleus
Definition
  • Contains genetic information(DNA)
  • it is the control centre

 

Term
Nucleolus
Definition
  • Bodies where ribosomes are made
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
  • Site for protien synthesis
  • produces protiens from info in DNA
  • Not membrane bound

 

Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
  • Folded membrane in cytoplasm
  • Connects with nuclear envolope
  • Smooth ER lacks ribosomes
  • Rough ER has ribosomes
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
Modifies protiens and lipids from ER, packages material in vesicles
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
  • The power house
  • provides energy for the cell to function by turning sugars into chemicle energy
Term
Chloroplast
Definition
  • Site for photosynthesis
  • Produces sugar from carbon dioxide, water and sunlight

 

Term
Vacuole
Definition
  • Stores a watery solution of sugars, salt, acid and protien
Term
What is a "Selectivley Permeable" membrane?
Definition
when only certain substances are able to pass through the membrane
Term
Passive transport
Definition
There are four kinds of passive transport. These include osmosis, diffusion, filtration, and facilitated diffusion. These all use passive transport to move atoms across the cell membrane.
