|
Centriole
|
Found in the cells of animals and some algae and fungi; two pairs of centrioles play an important role in cell reproduction.
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
Double walled organelle found in plants and some algae' functions in photosynthesis to trap light energy
|
|
|
Chromatin
|
Dense mass of material within the necleus that is composd of individual chromosomes.
|
|
|
Chromosome
|
Structure that carries the genes' composed of proteins and DNA.
|
|
|
Cilia
|
Flexible projections extending outward from a cell that enable locomotion by whiplike motion' Paramecium move by the motion of cilia.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Substance comtained by living cells that is composed of a complex mixture of enzymes, sugars, and amino acids; these substances are constantly invovled in chemical reactions.
|
|
|
Enoplasmic Reticulum
|
Network of interconnected structures found in all eukaryotes; functions include intracelular transport of proteins and the breakdown of harmful substances.
|
|
|
Eukaryote
|
Cell containing a nuclear membrane and a membrane-bound nucleus; the vast majority of living organisms are eukaryotic.
|
|
|
Flagella
|
Long, whiplike strands extending from a cell that enable cell locomotion.
|
|
|
Golgi Body
|
Flattened, saclike organelle that functions as a processing, packaging, and delivery system in eukaryotes.
|
|
|
Lysosome
|
Organelle containing digestive enzymes that break down food and digest worn out cell parts.
|
|
|
Metabolism
|
Sum of all chemical reaction that occur in cells.
|
|
|
Microfilament
|
Structure of the cytoskeleton in eudaryotes; composed of actin and myosin, it provides structural support and assists cell movement.
|
|
|
Microtubule
|
Structure of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes that helps cerain organelles move within the cell.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Organelles, bound by a double membrane, found in all eukaryotes; mitochondria break down organic molecules to release enrgy for cell reactions.
|
|
|
Nucleoli
|
Promint bodies found in the neucleus of eukaryotes; the site of RNA synthesis.
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
Control area of eukaryotic cells; contains chromatin and a nucleos.
|
|
|
Organ
|
a GROUP OF DIFFERENT TISSUES THAT WORK TOGETHER TO CARRY OUT A PARTICULAR FUNCTION; THE STOMACH IS AN EXAMLE.
|
|
|
Prokaryote
|
U
|
|
|
Ribosome
|
SCK
