Biology Final Part 2 Flashcards
Golgi Apparatus
packs and ships proteins out of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
delivers proteins with ribosomes
Plasma Membrane
bi-layer, controls movement of substances in and out
Mitochondria
‘powerhouse’ of the cell
Ribosome
Makes proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Cell Wall
found outside the cell membrane, provides support and protection
Vacuole
stores nutrients and water cell can rely on for survival in animal
Central Vacuole
storage tank for water, food, and waste in plant
Nucleus
control center, directs cell activities, contains DNA
Nucleolus
dark-staining structure in the nucleus; makes ribosomes
Cytoplasm
gel-like mixture within a cell, surrounded by cell membrane, contains cell structures (nucleus, ER)
Lysosome
breaks down excess or worn out cell parts. Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes
Chloroplast
found in plant cells, contains chlorophyll
Centriole
helps animal cells divide
Prokaryote
believed first to evolve, no membrane band, nucleus, nor organelles
