Plant And Animal Cell Flash Cards

Front 1

a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.

Back 1

Vacuole

Front 2

the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.

Back 2

Cytoplasm

Front 3

The cell nucleus contains the majority of the cell's genetic material in the form of multiple linear DNA molecules organized into structures called chromosomes. Each human cell contains roughly two meters of DNA.

Back 3

Nucleus

Front 4

an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers.

Back 4

Mitochondria

Front 5

(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.

Back 5

Chloroplasts

Front 6

a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins

Back 6

Ribosomes

Front 7

Nucleolus a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during inter phase.

Back 7

Nucleolus

Front 8

a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

Back 8

Golgi Apparatus

Front 9

It consists of series of tubules, flattened sacs called cisternae, and membrane-bound spheres called vesicles

Back 9

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Front 10

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum, or smooth ER, is an organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells. An organelle is a sub-unit within a cell that has a specialized function.

Back 10

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Front 11

an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.

Back 11

Lysosomes

Front 12

also known as the nucleolemma or karyotheca, is the phospho lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells

Back 12

Nuclear Membrane

Front 13

a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.

Back 13

Cell Wall

Front 14

the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.

Back 14

Cell Membrane

Front 15

a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.

Back 15

Centrioles

Front 16

the shaped region within the cell of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic material, called genophore. In contrast to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, it is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
