Term
carbohydrates
Definition
cells energy source
Term
nucleic acid
Definition
the genetic material that carries the chemical instructions to direct the cells activities
Term
proteins and liquids
Definition
BUILDING MATERIALS OF CELLS
Term
mitochondria
Definition
rod shaped organelles where most of the cells energy is produced
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
network of passageways that carries materials from one part of the ell to another
Term
ribosomes
Definition
functions as the factories to produce proteins. May be attached to the outer surfaces of the ER or they may float free in the cytoplasm
Term
golgi bodies
Definition
receive materials from the ER and send them to other parts of the cell, also release materials outside the cell.
Term
vacuole
Definition
store food, H20, wastes and other materials
Term
lysosomes
Definition
found in many animal cells, contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell
Term
interphase
Definition
cell grows to mature size, makes a copy of DNA, prepares to divide
Term
prophase
Definition
chromatin condenses to form chromosomes, spindle fibers form a bridge,nuclear membrane breaks down
Term
metaphase
Definition
Chromosomes line up, across the center of the cell, attach to a spindle fiber at the centromere
Term
centromere
Definition
the structure that holds the chromatics together
Term
anaphase
Definition
Centromeres split,two chromatids separate and move to the opposite ends of the cell, cell stretches out
Term
telophase
Definition
chromosomes begin to stretch out and unwind at the end of the cell. new nuclear membrane forms around each
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
in cells without a cell wall,cell pinches in two, each daughter cell has the same number of identical chromosomes and half the organelles and cytoplasm. in cells with a cell wall, the cell plate forms
Term
water
Definition
most abundant chemical in cell
Term
structure
Definition
how something is made
Term
function
Definition
is related to what something does
