plasma membrane in the 'nuclear region' of a cell |
1. Substitute for the nucleus in unicellular organisms 2. ______ membrane |
|
Plasmids |
Small circular molecules of DNA |
1. Small, ______models 2. Contain _________ |
|
Flagella |
Long, tail-like extensions that come out of a bacteria and help it move around in its enviroment |
1. The propellers of bacteria 2. 'whip like' |
|
Cell/plasma membrane |
Membrane protecting the cell and enclosing it completely, controls nutrients and wastes that go in and out of the cell |
1. Semi-permeable 2. completely encloses a cell |

Microtubules |
Tiny tubes in the cytoskeleton |
1. Are part of the protein network |
|
Microfilaments |
Connect microtubles |
1. Part of the protein network |
|
Rough ER |
Where proteins and other nutrients are sent through to go to the glogi to be synthesized |
1. Where proteins go to get better |
|
Smooth ER |
The rest of the endoplasmetic reticulum, proteins pass through it |
1. Where proteins pass through first |
|
Glogi apparatus |
Where proteins are sent to to be packaged into vesicles and sent to the plasma membrane, looks like a stack of pancakes |
1. Think pancakes |
|
Vesicles |
'Packages' in which proteins are stored in the glogi and sent to the plasma membrane |
1. The UPS system |
|
Lysosomes |
Special vesicles that contain enzymes that can break down old macromolecules to be recycled |
1. Think recycling bags |
|
Vacuoles |
Vesicles that get bigger as the organism gets older, in plants |
1. As the organism grows, so does the vacuoles |
|
