Term
Nucleus (brain)
Definition
-the control center for the cell
-it is surrounded by a membran(nuclear membrane)
-it contains the nucleous (DNA)
REGULATION
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
-a dense area inside the nucleus
-it contains the DNA
REGULATION
Term
Cell Membrane (bouncer)
Definition
-it separates the cell from its outer environment
-it controls what enters and what leaves the cell
-semi-permeable or selectively permeable
REGULATION
TRANSPORT
EXCRETION
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
-this is the watery substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus
-all the cell's organelles are located here
Term
Mitochondria (power house)
Definition
-releases energy from food through cellular respiration
RESPIRATION
Term
Ribosome
Definition
-this is the site of protein synthesis (the making of protein)
SYNTHESIS
Term
Endoplasmic Reticumlum
Definition
-the fluid-filled chambers that allow transport of materials
-2 kinds of E.R.
