bio parts of cell Flashcards
Nucleolus
Found within the nucleus
An area where the ribosomes are assemble
nucleus
Contains DNA
DNA controls the function of the cell
nuclear membrane
Controls the movement of materials in and out of the nucleus
Ribosomes
Builds proteins
Vesicle
A membrane bound container that moves materials around the cell
Transports vesicles and vacuoles are examples
Rough ER
A membrane that is continuous with the nucleus.
Has ribosomes sitting on the outside
Provides passageway for moving materials and aids the ribosomes in the making of proteins.
Golgi Body
Modifies proteins made by ribosomes.
Passages and exports modified proteins in secretion vesicles.
Cytoskeleton
Fibers that strengthen and maintain the shape of a cell.
Smooth ER
It produces lipids (fats) and breaks down waste.
Provides passageways for moving materials throughout the cell.
Mitochondria
Generates energy for the cell by breaking down sugar (glucose) molecules
Vacuole
Single. Large vesicle in plant cells for nutrient storage
Small vesicle in animal for storing a variety of materials
cytoplasm
Gel like fluid in the cell.
Supports and protects organelles
Contains the cytoskeleton fibers
Lysosome
Contains digestive enzymes to breakdown large molecules into smaller molecules or to kill the cell
cell membrane
Controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell
chloroplast
Uses energy from the sun to make food (glucose) for the plant
Found in plants.
