16 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
Small, spherical organelles that digests proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. It can also digest old, worn-out organelles, bacteria an viruses
|
Lysosome
|
|
Large organelles scattered throughout the cytoplasm. It is referred to as the "Powerhouse." They are numerous in a cell and change organic compounds into energy.
|
Mitochondria
|
|
Fluid-filled organelles that store enzymes and wastes. They are quite large in size and may take up 90% of cells's volume
|
Vacuoles
|
|
Organelle of a cell responsible for processing, packaging, and secreting. System of membranes that look like flattened sacs.
|
Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Body)
|
|
Controls the ease with which substances move in and out of the cell
|
Cell Membrane
|
|
- Most numerous organelle
- does not have a membrane around the organelle - made of protein and RNA - Help synthesis (produce) other proteins - found free in cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum |
Ribosome
|
|
- Found in plant cells; not animal cells
- rigid structure that lies outside of the cell membrane - supports and protects the cell |
Cell Wall
|
|
- system of tubes and sacs
- intracellular highway which moves molecules from one cell to another cell - has ribosomes attached to it - plentiful in cells that make a lot of proteins |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
|
- system of tubes and sacs
- intracellular highway which moves molecules from one cell to another cell - no ribosomes attached - produces steroids, regulates calcium, and brakes down toxins |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
|
- region of a cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus
- contain cytosol - contains salts, minerals, and organic molecules - contains all organelles |
Cytoplasm
|
|
- most prominent structure in a eukaryotic cell
- stores hereditary information in its DNA - Also contains RNA |
Nucleus
|
|
- lack a membrane-bound nucleus and/or membrane-bound organelles
- are unicellular |
Prokaryotic cells
|
|
- have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles
- found mostly in multicellular organisms |
