Animal,Plant cell and Prokaryotic V.s Eukaryotic Cell Test Flashcards
Nucleus
The nucleus controls and (REGULATES THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CELL AND CARRIES THE GENETIC INFORMATION)
Nucleolus
The part of a eukaryotic cell (WHERE RIBOSOMES ARE MADE). It is made up of dense RNA and proteins.
Chromosomes
Chromosomes are thread-like strands that (CONTAIN HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS, OF GENES.)Genes determine physical traits, such as the color of your eyes. A chromosome is (MADE UP OF PROTEINS AND DNA) organized into genes. Each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Cytoplasm
(CYTOPLASM IS A WATERY, GEL-LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT FILLS THE INSIDE OF A CELL). … It is what the other cellular objects float around in while they are in the cell.
Mitochondria
Are organelles, in the cytoplasm (not the nucleus) of eukaryotic cells. (THEY MAKE MOST OF THE CELL’S SUPPLY OF ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP) A MOLECULE THAT USE AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY). Their main job is this energy conversion. They oxidize glucose to provide energy for the cell. TURNS GLUCOSE (SUGAR) INTO ENERGY).
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are a tiny saclike part in a cell that contains enzymes which can (break down materials ( such as food particles and waste).
Ribosomes
A small organelle involved in the process of (MAKING PROTIEN) which is called protein synthesis. Ribosomes can be found floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Centrioles
A centriole is a small set of microtubules arranged in a specific way. There are nine groups of microtubules. (The centrioles are found in pairs and move towards the poles (opposite ends) of the nucleus when it is time for cell division)
Golgi Apparatus
Also called the Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which ( proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations) lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (both smooth and rough ER
The endoplasmic reticulum is a collection of tubes that ( MAKE, PACKAGE, AND TRANSPORT PROTEINS AND FATS)
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane is the outer cover that (REGULATES THE TRANSPORT OF MATERIALS ENTERING AND EXITING THE CELL)
Vacuole
Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in both animal and plant cells, but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles ( STORE NUTRIENTS, FOOD/WATER OR ANY VARIETY OF NUTRIENTS) a cell might need to survive. … Plants use vacuoles to store water.
Cell Wall
A cell wall is ( A STRONG, PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE THAT SURROUNDS A PLANT CELL) It has holes called plasmodesmata that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Cell walls provide support, strength, and protection for plants and help plants hold their shape, even when they’re thirsty.
Cell
The basic unit ( or building blocks) of all animals and plant life. We are made of cells.
Modern Cell Theory
1.
The cell is the smallest living unit in all organisms
