Cards

Term
Cell membrane
Definition
  • selectively permeable
  • allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients and wastes
  • found in plant and animal cells
Term
Cell wall
Definition

  • outer layer that helps main cell shape and protects
  • found only in PLANTS

Term
Nucleus
Definition

  • chromatin: consists of DNA
  • nucleolus: produces ribosomes
  • nuclear envelope: encloses nucleus

Term
centriole
Definition

region were the cells microtubules are initiated

ONLY ANIMALS

Term
ribosomes
Definition

organelle that makes PROTEINS. 

BOTH plants and animals

Term
golgi apparatus
Definition

organelle active in synthesis, sorting and secretion of cell products

BOTH plants and animals

Term
endoplasmic recticulum
Definition

network of membranous sacs and tubes; active in membrane synthesis and other synthetic and metabolic processes

BOTH plants and animals

Term
mitochondria
Definition

organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated

BOTH plants and animals

Term
chloroplast
Definition

photosynthetic organelle; converts energy of sunlight to chemical energy stored in sugar molecules

PLANTS ONLY

Term
lysosomes
Definition

digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed

ANIMALS ONLY

Term
peroxisomes
Definition

organelle with various specialized metabolic functions; produces hydrogen peroxide

BOTH plants and animals

Term
vacuole
Definition

prominent organelle in older plant cells; functions include: storage, break down of wastes; enlargement of vacuole is a major mechanism of plant growth

PLANTS ONLY

Term
cytoskeleton
Definition

reinforces cell shape; functions in cell movement; components made of protein

BOTH plants and animals

Term
difference between Plant and Animal cells
Definition

Plants have Cell Wall; Animals don't
