|
plastids
|
PLANT organelles that take many forms. involved in the storage of food and pigments
ex. Chloroplast, Leukoplasts, chromoplasts |
|
|
Leukoplasts
|
a type of plastid that stores starch granules
|
|
|
Chromoplasts
|
a type of plastid that stores/produces pigment molecules
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
composed of a variety of filaments and fibers that support cell structure and drive cell movement
1. cell membrane 2.ER 3.Microtube 4.Microfilament 5.Ribosome 6. Mitochondrion |
|
|
Microtubule
|
support hairlike structures known as cilia(short, thread-like structures that help unicellar organism move) and flagella(long, whiplike structures that help unicellular organisms move about.
|
|
|
Microfilaments
|
long, thin fibers that function in the movement and support of the cell. Permits the movement of the cytoplasm within the cell.
|
|
|
Prokaryotes
|
organisms without nuclei
|
|
|
Eukaryotes
|
Organisms that contain nuclei
|
|
|
Nuclear Envelope
|
2 membranes that are combined to from around the nucleus. Contains thousands of small openings. This is where molecules enter and leave the nucleus
|
|
|
Nucleolus
|
made up of RNA and protiens. Makes parts of ribosomes.
|
|
|
Chromosomes
|
contain the genetic information of the cell inside the nucleus
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
the area between the nucleus and the cell membrane
|
|
|
Mitochrondirion
|
changes the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
trap the energy of sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.
|
|
|
ribosomes
|
structures in which proteins are made. composed of RNA and protein and are free in the cytoplasm
|
|
|
endoplasmic reticulum
|
transports materials through the inside of the cell. 2 types:Smooth and rough. AKA the ER
|
|
|
Gogi apparatus
|
modifies, collects, packages, and distributes molecules made at one location of the cell and used at another... they add specail enzymes
|
|
|
lysosomes
|
small membrane-bordered structures that contain chemicals and enzymes necessary for digesting certain materials in the cell
|
|
|
Vacuoles
|
store material such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. Plant cells' are filled with water and that enables them to grom strong and tall
|
|
|
Cell membrane
|
regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also aids in the protection and support of the cell.
|
|
|
Cell wall
|
lies outside the cell membrane, very porous, helps to protect and support the cell
|
