|
Prokaryotic |
A single celled organism which lacks a membrane-bound nucleus |
|
|
|
Eukaryotic |
Organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures and close within membranes |
|
|
|
Ribosomes |
Organelles that consists of RNA and proteins. They are responsible for assembling the proteins of the cell |
|
|
|
Nucleus |
Essential part of most cells that contain genetic material and is enclosed in a membrane |
|
|
|
Nucleolus |
Dense body in the nucleus of most cells consisting of protein and RNA: ribosomes are produced here |
|
|
|
ER ( endoplasmic reticulum) |
A membrane Network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis modification and transport of cellular materials |
|
|
|
Mitochondria |
An organelle in which the biochemical process of respiration and energy production occur |
Powerhouse of the cell |
|
|
Phospholipids |
A major component of all cell membranes |
Double sided membrane. One side is hydrophobic one side is hydrophilic |
|
|
Golgi apparatus |
A cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipids molecules especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell |
The UPS of the cell |
|
|
Lysosomes |
A cell organelle containing enzymes that digest particles and that disintegrates the cell after its death |
|
|
|
Chloroplast |
An organelle that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place |
|
|
|
Vacuole |
An organelle Bound by a single membrane and containing water food or metabolic waste |
|
|
|
Chromatin |
Unfolded uncondensed extended DNA packaged by special proteins (histones) |
|
|
|
Chromosome |
Condensed DNA |
|
|
|
Chromatid |
Two identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere |
You see this in mitosis and meiosis |
|
|
Exocytosis |
Transport of material out of the cell by the means of a sack or vesicle |
Exiting |
|
|
Endocytosis |
The transport of solid matter or liquid into the cell by means of a sack or vesicle |
Entering |
|
|
ATP |
Nucleotide that contains high energy phosphate bonds and is used to transport energy to cells for the biochemical process |
|
|
|
Enzyme |
Proteins that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction in a living organism |
|
|
|
Active transport |
The movement of ions or molecules across a cellular membrane from a lower to higher concentration requiring the consumption of energy |
|
|
|
Diffusion |
The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration |
|
|
|
Osmosis |
Diffusion of fluid through a semi-permeable membrane |
|
|
|
Isotonic solution |
When two solutions have a equal solute concentration |
|
|
|
Hypertonic solution |
Refers to a greater concentration |
|
|
|
Hypotonic solution |
Refers to a lesser concentration |
