|
Mitochondria
|
Slipper-shaped organelles that produce most of the energy(ATP). ( power plant of the cell)
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
Control center of the cell; contains most of the DNA
|
|
|
Microtubules
|
Organelles that help maintain the shape of the cell and assist the cell with movement
|
|
|
Cilia
|
Short hairlike projections in the outside of a cell
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Organelles that either are bound to the endoplasmic reticulum or are free in the cytoplasm; concerned with protein synthesis
|
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Digestive organelles that "clean house" within the cell
|
|
|
Flagellum
|
Long hairlike projections on the external surface of the cell membrane; such as the tail of the sperm.
|
|
|
Centrioles
|
Rod-shaped structures that play a key role in cellular reproduction
|
|
|
Nuclear membrane
|
Structure that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Consists of the cytosol and the organelles
|
|
|
Golgi apparatus
|
Puts the finishing touches on the protein and packages it for export from the cell
|
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer)
|
Sandpaper like structure dotted with ribosomes; concerned with protein synthesis
|
|
|
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum(ser)
|
Type of endoplasmic reticulum concerned with the synthesis of lipids and steroids; does not contain ribosomes
|
|
|
Cell membrane
|
Selectively permeable structure that separates intercellular material from extracellular material
|
|
|
Cytosol
|
Gel-like part of the cytoplasm
|
|
|
Osmosis
|
Transport mechanism in which water diffuses from an area where there is more water to an area where there is less water
|
|
|
Diffusion
|
Movement of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration; most commonly used transport mechanisms
|
|
|
Facilitated diffusion
|
Passive transport mechanism in which glucose is helped across the cell membrane by a helper molecule
|
|
|
Filtration
|
A pressure gradient is the driving force for this type of transport
|
|
|
Active transport
|
The movement of molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy of respiration
|
|
|
Active transport
|
The movement of molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy of respiration
|
|
|
Mitosis
|
Cell division involved in the body growth and repair. Produces two identical daughter cells during prophase anaphase metaphase and telophase
|
