20 Cards in this Set
- Front

|
Nucleus
|
Contains DNA and controls the cell
|
|
|
Nucleolus
|
It is where the RNA part of the ribosomes are made. It is inside the nucleus.
|
|
|
Mitochondrion
|
The site of cellular respiration. Contains it's own DNA
|
|
|
RER
|
A series of canals with ribosomes attached. Proteins move along in these canals
|
|
|
SER
|
A series of canals without ribosomes. May have different functions including detoxification and lipid synthesis
|
|
|
Plasma Membrane
|
Controls what enters and leaves the cell. A phospholipid bilayer with proteins.
|
|
|
Vesicle
|
A small sac that carries proteins around the cell
|
|
|
Lysosome
|
A sac that contains powerful enzymes. It fuses with cell organelles and breaks them down. A recycle center.
|
|
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
The post office of the cell. It addresses proteins to determine where they will go.
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
The cell framework. Vesicles move along these cables
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
The site of protein synthesis.
|
|
|
Nuclear Envelope
|
Surrounds the nucleus. Has pores through which RNA can move to cytoplasm.
|
|
|
Centrioles
|
Forms the spindle fibers during cell division
|
|
|
Cell Wall
|
Tough outer covering of plant cells. Made of cellulose.
|
|
|
Chromatin
|
Name given to DNA wound around protein.
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
Where photosynthesis occurs
|
|
|
Prokaryotic
|
bacterial cells lacking a true nucleus
|
|
|
Eukaryotic
|
plant, animal, fungi, protozoan cells which have a true nucleus.
|
|
|
Endosymbiont
|
organelles like Chloroplasts and Mitochondria, which have their own DNA, are evidence supporting this hypothesis.
|
|
|
Vacuole
|
Storage area for food, water, or pigments
|
