|
contain enzymes to digest macromolecules (proteins lipids and fats) and also to rid the cell of old organelles |
lysosomes
|
|
|
|
the "protein factories" of the cell
made of RNA |
ribosomes
|
|
|
|
storage areas for water
|
water vacuole
|
|
|
|
contains the DNA of the organism (well, most of it)
|
nucleus |
|
|
|
the site of respiration.
converts sugar into a usable form of energy (ATP) for the cell |
mitochondria |
|
|
|
small dark spot in the nucleus
the site of ribosome production |
nucleolus
|
|
|
|
has ribosomes on the surface and makes proteins
|
rough endoplasmic reticulum |
|
|
|
is the site of lipid molecule production
does not have ribosomes on the surface |
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
|
|
the site of protein modification and packaging for distribution and storage
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
|
|
|
the fluid, jelly-like matrix in the cell
all the organelles float around in this |
cytoplasm
|
|
|
|
controls what enters and leaves the cell
|
cell membrane
|
|
|
|
found only in plants
provides structure and protection for plant cells |
cell wall
|
|
|
|
made of microtubules and microfilaments
provides structure for the cell |
cytoskeleton
|
|
|
|
converts light energy into chemical energy(sugars) for plant cells
|
chloroplasts |
|
|
|
Osmosis |
the transport of water across a membrane from high conc. to low conc. |
|
|
|
Hypotonic Solution |
Less dissolved particles outside the cell (high water conc. outside) |
|
|
|
phospholipid bilayer |
a selectively permeable membrane; inside - hydrophobic outside - hydrophilic |
|
|
|
Eukaryotes |
Organisms containing a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles |
|
|
|
Prokaryotes |
Organism with no nucleus or membrane bound organelles (loose DNA, free ribosomes) |
|
|
|
Plant Cell |
Eukaryotic cell with cell wall, chloroplasts, and central water vacuole. |
