Cards

Term
Cell membrane(P and A)
Definition
-encloses everything in the cell
Term
Cell wall(P)
Definition
-wall protects anything from viruses
-maintains the shape of the cell
Term
Centriole(A)
Definition
-fused microtubules that are ring shapes and go in groups of nine
-part of cytoskeleton
-arranged together so they are perpendicular to each other
Term
Centrosome(A and P)
Definition
-Microtubule Organising Center (MTOC)
-pair of organelles called centrioles
-divided by making new copies and create daughter a daughter celll
Term
Chloroplast(P)
Definition
-found n all higher plant cells
-makes the plant green
-used in photosynthesis
Term
Cytoplasm(A and P)
Definition
-Jelly/soup like structure
-has organelles suspended in it
Term
Cytoskeleton(A)
Definition
-helps keep the cell in it's shape
-has an organized network including microtubules, action filaments, and intermediate fibers
-stained green
Term
Golgi apparatus(A and P)
Definition
-membrane-bound structure and single celled membrane
-packages and transports macromolecules to other places in the cell
Term
Lysosomes(A and P)
uncommon in plant cells
Definition
-used for intracellular digestion because it has hydrolytic enzymes
-used to kill and digest bacteria
In plant cells
-found in the vacuole
-too much can cause death
Term
Mitochondrion(A)
Definition
-gives cell energy to move(power centers of the cell)
-vary in size and small as bacteria
-creates ATP(energy)
Term
Nucleolus(A and P)
Definition
-enclosed by a double membrane
-DNA is in the nucleus and provides the cell with genes that differ between different organisms
Term
Nucleolus(A and P)
Definition
-inside the nucleus
-makes ribosomes that are used to make protein
Term
Peroxisomes(P and A)
Definition
-oxidative enzyme packets
-many roles like making fatty acids in to sugar
-can assist chloroplast in photorespiration
In animal
-protects cell for hydrogen peroxide
Term
Ribosomes(A)
Definition
-bunches of RNA and protein
-where protein synthesis happens
-RNA from nucleus moves RNA and amino acids along the protein chain
Term
Rough ER(A and P)
Definition
-looks like smooth ER but with dots
-have ribosomes on/in it
-ribosomes collected in protein synthesize are used for transportation
Term
Smooth ER(A and P)
Definition
-membrane bound tubular vesicle
-creates lipids, break down lipids, breaks down toxins in liver....
Term
Vacuole in plant
Definition
-cycles turgor pressure in the cell
Term
Vacuole(A)
Definition
-Sack structure
-role in intracellular digestion and getting rid of the waste
