Cell
|
the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
|
|
Organelles
|
structures inside cells that perform specific jobs for the cell.
|
|
Cell Membrane
|
a selectively permeable envelope that surrounds the cell.
|
|
Eukaryotes
|
are organisms whose cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles.
|
|
Prokaryotes
|
are unicellular organisms like some bacteria that lack a membrane bound nucleus and organelles.
|
|
Nucleus
|
is the large organille near the center of the cell that directs most of the cell's activities and contains the genetic code of the cell.
|
|
Selectively Permeable
|
means that some substances can pass through while others can not.
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
is the gelatin-like watery substance inside the cell.
|
|
Mitochondria
|
are the sites of chemical reactions that transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP
|
|
Ribosomes
|
are organelles that synthesize protiens and RNA
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
is a system of tubules and sacs where molecules move from one part of the cell to another.
|
|
Rough E.R
|
is covered with ribosomes.
|
|
Smooth E.R
|
is not covered with ribosomes.
|
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
is the processing, packaging, and secreting organelle of the cell.
|
|
Lysosomes
|
are organelles that digest substances such as protiens, old cell organelles, viruses, and bacteria
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
is a network of long protien strands that provide support.
|
|
Microtubules
|
are the largest protien strands in the cytoplasm.
|
|
Microfilaments
|
are the smallest strands in the cytoskeleton.
|
|
Spindle Fibers
|
are bundles of microtubules that appear during cell division.
|
|
Nucleolus
|
is inside the nucleus and is the site where ribosomes are synthesized and partially assembled.
|
|
Nuclear Matrix
|
is the protien skeleton of the nucleus.
|
|
Nuclear Envelope
|
is a double membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
|
|
Chromatin
|
is fine strands of protien and DNA.
|
|
Chromosomes
|
for when chromatin strands coil up and pack closer.
|
|
Nuclear Pores
|
are small openings in the nuclear envelope.
