Ribosome |
Carry out protein synthesis, through a process called translation are responsible for accurately translating the genetic code |
|
Cytoplasm |
Term to describe all of the contents of a cell except for the nucleus |
|
Chloroplasts |
organelles found only in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms that capture and store light energy and use that energy to conduct photosynthesis |
|
Cell Membrane |
Also known as the plasma membrane, this cell part separates the inside of all cells from the outside environment |
|
Cell wall |
An organelle found in plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae, that forms the tough protective outside layer and helps provide rigidity |
|
Lysosomes |
An organelle that forms an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae and helps with protein folding and transport of synthesized proteins |
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Cellular organelles that contain enzymes that help to break down lipids,proteins, and carbs |
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
A part of the cell that has ribosomes attached to its cytoplasm side and helps manufacture membranes and proteins |
|
Nuclear Membrane |
An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that encloses the genetic material and separates that material from the rest of the cytoplasm |
|
Mitochondria |
An organelle found in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur |
|
Golgi Body |
An organelle that packages proteins inside the cell before they are sent to their destination. It is involved in recreation and intracellular transport |
|
DNA |
A self-replicating, double-helix shaped material, that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms |
|
Flagella |
Long tail-like projections from the cell membrane in single-cell organisms that help with locomotion and movement |
|
Smooth E.R |
A part of the cell that helps with several processes, including the synthesis of lipids and steroids. it also helps with the metabolism of carbs |
|
Nucleus |
A membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells that contains most of cell's genetic material |
|
Vacuole |
A membrane-bound organelle mostly ;found in plant cells that contains waste materials and helps export unwanted substances from the cell |
|
Nucleolus |
Is the nuclear subdomain that assembles ribosomal subunits in eukaryotic cells
