|
Cell wall |
Usually found in plant and bacterial cells, it is a rigid structure on the outside of the cell that provides protection and support to the cell |
|
|
Plasma membrane |
Made of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and other chemicals., it regulates what can come into and what can leave the cell |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
A jellylike substance in the cell in which organelles are suspended |
|
|
Mitochondrion |
The organelle in which nutrients are converted to energy |
|
|
Lysosome |
Found in animal cells, it is responsible for hydrolysis reactions that breakdown proteins, polysaccharides, disaccharides, and some lipids |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Found in all cells, it is the organelle that synthesizes proteins |
|
|
Rough ER |
Extensive network of folded membranes dotted with ribosomes that produces specialized protein secreted by certain cells |
|
|
Smooth ER |
Extensive network of folded membranes in which substances like lipids and hormones are made |
|
|
Leucoplast |
Organella that stores starches or oils |
|
|
Chromoplast |
Organelles that contains pigment used in photosynthesis |
|
|
Central vacuole |
A large vacuole at the center of plant cells that is responsible for making turgor pressure |
|
|
Food vacuole |
Membrane-bound "sac" that stores food |
|
|
Waste vacuole |
Membrane-bound "sac" that holds the waste products of digestion |
|
|
Contractile vacuole |
Membrane-bound "sac" that controls the amount of water in a cell |
|
|
Pinocytic vesicle |
Small, membrane-bound "sac" formed at the plasma membrane to allow the absorption of large molecules |
|
|
Secretion vesicle |
Small membrane-bound "sac" that holds secretion products so that they can be transported to the plasma membrane and released |
|
|
Golgi bodies |
Organelles where proteins and lipids are stored and then modified to suit the needs of the cells |
|
|
Centrioles |
Organelles that produce microtubles which form cilia and flagella (in cells that have them) and also aid int he process of asexual reproduction in cells |
|
|
Nucleus |
The "control center" of the cell, holding the cell's main DNA |
|
|
Cytoskelteton |
A network of fibers that hold membranes in which substances like lipids and hormones are made |
|
|
Ions |
Substances in which at least one atom has an imbalance of protons and electrons |
|
|
Microtubles |
Spiral strands of protein molecules that form a tubelike structure |
|
|
Nuclear DNA |
DNA found in the nucleus, a copy of the parents DNA. It tells the cells everything it needs to know about structure and function |
|
|
Chromatin |
Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell |
|
|
Active transport |
Requires a chemical reaction which uses energy |
|
|
The End |
