Cards Term What is a Cell Membrane? Definition  Cell membranes allow food, oxygen, waste, and carbon dioxide exchange. It is elastic to help change it's shape under pressure. Term What are cell walls? Definition Cell walls support and protects the cell Term What is a Vacuole? Definition A vacuole is a storage tank that store food, water, enymes, and waste. For a plant cell it has one large vacuole but for a animal they have a lot.  Term What is Chloroplast? Definition Chlorplast are only in plant cells. They contain chlorophll. Chloroplast is is where glucose is made. Term What is Cytoplasm? Definition Cytoplasm is a jellylike substance that keeps from drying out, so materials can move around the cell. Term What is a Mitochondria? Definition A mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Term What are Ribosomes? Definition Ribosomes are proteins. Term What is the Endoplasmic Reticulam? Definition The Endoplasmic reticulam (ER) are clear tubes that make and transports protein. Term What is the Nuclear Membrane? Definition The nuclear membrane holds the nucleusand allows materials to pass in and out of the nucleus. Term What is the Nucleus? Definition Brain or library of cell. Controls all cell functions. Term What are Chromosomes? Definition Chromosomes are made up of genes that are instructions for all cells. Term What is the Nucleolus Definition The nucleolus makes ribosomes.  Term What is the Golgi complex? Definition The golgi complex looks like the the ER but the golgi complex makesprotein and lipids. (fats) This are shipped and the proteins are used fro different functions. Term            ANIMAL             CELLS Definition     ANIMAL      CELLS Term What are some of the same organelles plant cells have that animal cells have? Definition cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole ( lot smaller ones), Mitochondria, and lysosomes ( rarey seen in plant cells), Ribosomes, ER, nuclear membrane, nucleus, nucleolus, chromosomes and golgi complex. Term What is the cell theory? Definition  all organisms are composed of 1 or more cells  That the cells is a basic unit of all living things.
