Cards

Term

Nucleus

 

Animal Cells

Definition

Regulates all cell activity

 

Term

Nucleolus

 

Animal Cells

Definition
Located inside the nuclear membrane, the nucleolus is the central location for the production of ribosomes in the eukaryotic cell. Using different types of RNA, a form of procedural code within a cell, along with telomeres and proteins produced in the cytoplasm, this organelle constructs both subunits of the ribosome
Term

Genetic Material

(DNA/RNA)

Animal Cells

Definition
The function of the genetic material is to store the information needed by the cell to make proteins
Term

Ribosomes - Free

Plant/Animal/Bacterial

Cells

Definition
Produces proteins for the cell and the human body
Term

Ribosomes - Attached

Plant/Animal/Bacterial

Cells

Definition
Produces proteins for the cell and the human body
Term

Nuclear Membrane/Envelope

 Animal Cells

Definition
The nuclear envelope separates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm
Term

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Animal Cells

Definition
The prime rough endoplasmic reticulum function is the production and processing of specific proteins at ribosomal sites that are later exported.
Term

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

 Animal Cells

Definition
The function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is to stores, separate, and serve as cell's transport system
Term

 

Golgi Appararatus/Body

Animal Cells

Definition
The function of the golgi apparatus, is to modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum
Term

Lysosome

Animal Cells

Definition
Lysosomes destroy worn-out or damaged organelles, get rid of waste materials, and protect the cell from foreign invaders
Term

Mitochondria

Plant Cells

Definition
 provides energy for the cell; They are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they provide the location for the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate)
Term

Chloroplasts

Plant Cells

Definition
conduct photosynthesis to produce sugars, the raw material for energy
Term

Vacuole

Plant cells

Definition
store water, food and waste products (excretion)
Term

Vesicles

 Animal

Definition

carry proteins, nutrients, and water into, out of, and around the inside of the cell


Term

Plastid

Definition
The primary function of plastids is to store molecules
