Centriole
|
found in the cells of animals and some algea and fungi;two pairs of centrioles play an important role in cell reporduction.
|
|
chloroplast
|
double-walled organelle found in plants and some algea; functions in photosynthesis to trap light energy.
|
|
chromatin
|
dense mass if material within the nucleus that is composed of individual chromosomes.
|
|
chromosome
|
structure that carries the genes; composed of protiens and DNA
|
|
cilia
|
flexible projections extend outward from a cell that enable locomotion by whiplike motion; paramecium move by the motion of cilia
|
|
cytoplasm
|
substance comtianed by living cells that is composed of complex mixture of enzymes, sugar, and amino acids; these substances are constantly involved in chemical reactions.
|
|
endoplasm reticulum
|
network of interconnected structures found in in all eukaryotes, fuctions include intracelular transport of protiens and the breakdown of harmfull substances.
|
|
eukaryote
|
cell containing a nuclear membrane and a membrane-bound nucleus; the vast majority of living organisms.
|
|
flagella
|
long, whip like strandes extended from a cell that enable cell locomotion
|
|
metalbolism
|
sum of a chemicla reaction that occurs in cells; hydrolysis is one such chemical reaction
|
|
microfilament
|
structure of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes; composed of actin and myosin, it provides structural support and assist cell movement.
|
|
microtubule
|
structure of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes that helps certain organells move within the cell.
|
|
mitochondria
|
organelles, bound by a doubled membrane, found in all eukaryotes; mitochondria break down organic molecules the release energy for cell reactions.
|
|
nucleoli
|
prominent bodies found in the nucleus of eukaryotes; the site of RNA synthesis.
|
|
nucleus
|
control are of eukaryotic cells; contains
