|
Centriole
|
Found in the cells of animals and some algae and fungi; two pairs of centrioles play an important role in cell reproduction.
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
Double-walked organele found in plants and some algae; functions in photsynthesis to trap light and energy.
|
|
|
Chromatin
|
dense mass of material within the nucleus that is composed of individual chtomosones.
|
|
|
Chromosome
|
Structure that carries the genes; composed of protiens and DNA.
|
|
|
Cilia
|
Flexible projections extending outward from a cell that enable locomotion by whiplike motion; paramecium move by the motion of cilia.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Substance contained by by living cells that is a mix of enzymes, sugars, and amino acids; these substabnces are constantly involved in the chemical reactions.
|
|
|
Endoplasmic Recticulum
|
Network of interconnected stuctures found in all eukaryotes; functions include intracular transport of protiens and the breakdown of harmful substances.
|
|
|
Eukaryote
|
Cell containing a nuclear membrane and a membrane-bound cells; the vast majority of living organisms.
|
|
|
Flagella
|
Long, Whiplike strands extending from a cell that enable cell locomotion.
|
|
|
Golgi Body
|
Flattened,saclike organelle that function as a processing, packaging, and delivery system in eukaryotes .
|
|
|
Lysosome
|
Organelle containing digestive enzymes that break down food and digests worn out cell parts.
|
|
|
Metabolism
|
Sum of all the chemical reaction that occur in cells; hydrologis is one such chemical reaction.
|
|
|
Microfilament
|
Stucture of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes, composed of actin mysosin, it provides structural support and assist cell movement.
|
|
|
mitochondria
|
Organelles, bound by a double membrane, found in eukaryotes, mitochondria nreak down organic molecules to release energy for cell reactions.
|
|
|
neucleoli
|
prominent bodies found in the nucleus of eukaryotes; the site of RNA synthesis.
|
|
|
nucleus
|
Control area of eukaryotic cells contain chromatin and a nucleolus.
|
|
|
organ
|
A group of different tissues that work together to carry out a particular function; stomach is an example
|
|
|
prokaryote
|
cell that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; bacteria are prokaryotes.
|
|
|
ribosome
|
organelle composed of RNA and protien are made from amino acids.
