1.2 Eukaryotic Cells Flashcards
a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell
cell wall
a cell organelle composed of RNA and protein - makes proteins
ribosome
a system of membranes that is found in a cell’s cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids - system of folded membranes
endoplamic reticulum
in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by 2 membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration - breaks down sugar into energy
mitochondrion
cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell
Golgi complex
a small cavity or sac that contains materials in a eukaryotic cell ; forams when part of the cell membrane surrounds the materials to be taken into the cell or transported within the cell
vesicle
a cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes
lysosome
a complex sugar that most animals can’t digest
cellulose
some fungi have cells made of….
chitin
a group of compounds that don’t dissolve (includes fats and cholesterol) - move materials in and out
lipids
a proteciver barrier that encloses a cell
cell membrane
doesn’t like water
hydrophobic
“water-loving”
hydrophilic
where a cell begins to make its ribosomes
nucleolus
where the energy from the mitochondrion is stored
ATP
