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. |
