When visible light is passed through a specimen and then through the lenses.

Light Microscope

The membrane enclose structures within an eukaryotic cells.

Organelles

The process that takes cells apart and separates major organelles and other subcellular structures from one another.

Cell Fractionation

Subcellular components are suspended in this jelly like, semifluid substance.

Cytosol

In this cell, most of the DNA is in an organelle called the nucleus which is bound by a double membrane.

Eukaryotic Cell

In this cell, the DNA is not concentrated in a membrane enclosed region, instead it is enclosed in a place called the nucleoid.

Prokaryotic Cells

Where DNA is concentrated with in a prokaryotic cell

Nucleoid

The interior of either type of cell.

Cytoplasm

The boundary of a cell that functions as a selective barrier that allows passage of enough oxygen, nutrients, and waste to service the entire cell.

Plasma Membrane

Contains most of the genes of a eukaryotic cell

Nucleous

This encloses the nucleus, separating its contents from the cytoplasm.

nuclear envelope

A net lie array of protein filaments that maintains the shape of the nucleus by mechanically supporting the nuclear envelope.

nuclear lamina

Structures that carry genetic information

chromosomes

A mass of densely stained granules and fibers adjoining part of the chromatin, and a prominent structure within the non dividing nucleus.

Nucleolus

Cellular components that carry out protein synthesis.

Ribosomes

The system which includes the nuclear envelope, the endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi apparatus, lysosomes, various kinds of vesicles and vaculous, and the plasma membrane.

Endomembrane System

Sacs made of membranes that are used to transfer membrane segments.

Vesicles

An extensive network of membrane that accounts for more than half the total membrane in eukaryotic cells, and is made up of tubes and sacs.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

The outer surface of the ER that lack ribisomes.

Smooth ER

The outer surface of the ER that is studded with ribosomes

Rough ER

Carbs that have carbohydrtes bonded to them

Secretory proteins, most are glycoproteins.

Vesicles that transport material from one place to another, formed of bubbles from the ER

Transport Vesicles or vacuoles

The warehouse for the cell that deals with shipping and receiving of material.

The golgi apparatus.

A membranous sac of of hydorlytic enzymes that an animal cells uses to digest macromolecules.

Lysosome

Eating by engulfing other smaller organisms or food particles

phagocytosis

Vacuoles

A large vesicle derived from the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus. Used to carry material.

Food Vacuoles

Fuses with lysosomes which then digest food, made up of phagocytosis.

Contractile vacuoles

Pump excess water outside the cell there by maintaining a suitable concentration of ions and molecules inside the cell.

Holds a solution called the cell sap that is the main repository of inorganic ions including pottasium and chloride.

Central vacuole

The site of cellular respiration, the metabolic proccess that uses oxygen to generate ATP by extracting energy from sugars, fats, and other fuels.

Mitochondria

The sights of photosynthesis found in plant cells and algea.

Chloroplast

The theory that states that an early ancestor of eukaryotic cells engulfed an oxygen using non-photosynthetic prokaryotic cell. Eventually the engulfed cell formed a relationship with the host cell in which it was enclosed.

Endosymbiont theory

inflods on the inner membrane of mitochondria

cristae

Enclosed by the inner membrane, and contains many different enzymes as well as mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes

Mitochondrial Matrix

Inside the chloroplast is a membranous system made up of flattened interconnected cell sacs in which the light reaction of photosynthesis takes place.

Thylakoids

A stack of thylackoids

granum

The fluid found outside of the thylackoids inside of the chloroplast containing the chlorplasts DNA and ribosomes, as well as enzymes.

Stroma

Chloroplast is a specialized organelle of a family closely related to plant organelles called " ."

Plastids

A specialized metabolic compartment bound by a single membrane. These contain enzymes that remove hydrogen from various substrates and transfer them to oxygen.

Peroxisome

A network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm.

cytoskeleton

motor proteins work together with the cytoskeleton for

cell mobility

hollow rods that are used to support the cell and serve as tracks that organelles equiped with motor proteins can move.

Microtubules

A microtubler organizing center.

Centrosome

A pair within the centrsome that each is composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules in a ring.

Centrioles

Locomotor appendages and microtubules-containing extensions of cells.

Flagella and Cilia

A twisted double chain of actin sub units

Microfilements

MIcrofiliments are built from molecules of

actin

This network gives the outer scytoplsmic layer of a cell its gel like consitency.

cortex

Acts as a motor protein by means of projections that walk a long the actin filements

Myosin

The circular flow of cytoplasm within cells

cytoplasmic streaming

An extracellular structure that distinguishes animal cells from plant cells

cell wal

A realtivly thin and flexible wall

Primary cell wall

A thin layer of the cell wall rich in polysacharides called pectins

MIddle lamella

Between the primary wall and plasma membrane

secondary cell wall

The most abundant glycoprotein in the ECM

collagen

ECM

Extracellular matrix

Collogen fibers are embedded into a network woven out of-

proteoglycens
