|
Cell Membrane
|
The semipermeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell.
|
|
|
Cell Wall
|
The definite boundary or wall that is part of the outer structure of certain cells, as a plant cell.
|
|
|
Chloroplasts
|
A chlorophyll-containing plastid found in algal and green plant cells.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
The cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus, containing the cytosol, organelles, cytoskeleton, and various particles.
|
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
|
A network of tubular membranes within the cytoplasm of the cell, occurring either with a smooth surface (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) or studded with ribosomes (rough endoplasmic reticulum), involved in the transport of materials.
|
|
|
Eukaryotic Cell
|
A cell with a true nucleus; a cell with a nuclear membrane and organelles
|
|
|
Golgi Body
|
An organelle, consisting of layers of flattened sacs, that takes up and processes secretory and synthetic products from the endoplasmic reticulum and then either releases the finished products into various parts of the cell cytoplasm or secretes them to the outside of the cell.
|
|
|
Lysosome
|
A cell organelle containing enzymes that digest particles and that disintegrate the cell after its death.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
An organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production.
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
A specialized, usually spherical mass of protoplasm encased in a double membrane, and found in most living eukaryotic cells, directing their growth, metabolism, and reproduction, and functioning in the transmission of genic characters.
|
|
|
Prokaryotic Cell
|
A cell lacking a true membrane-bound nucleus
|
|
|
Ribosome
|
A tiny, somewhat mitten-shaped organelle occurring in great numbers in the cell cytoplasm either freely, in small clusters, or attached to the outer surfaces of endoplasmic reticula, and functioning as the site of protein manufacture.
