Cell Biology Flashcards
Separates the nuclear from the cytoplasm; both
Nuclear envelope
Is the control center of the cell; stores DNA and makes mRNA; both
Nuclear
Located inside the nuclear, mRNA are made here; both
Nucleolus
Interior part of the cell made up of fluid that cushions all the organelles; both
Cytoplasm
Provides energy to the cell: powerhouse of the cell; both
Mitochondria
Processes & modifies proteins that were made in the nucleolus; both
Endoplasmic reticulum
Packages proteins into vesicles for export throughout the cell;both
Golgi apparatus
Contain digestive enzymes to clean up the cell; both
Lysosomes
Aid in protein synthesis;both
Ribosomes
Helps digestion of materials; both
*in only plants, it stores nutrients and keeps cell pressure
Vacuole
Supports and maintains shape, protects cell from damage, connects near by cells;plant
Cell wall
Use light energy to make food (carbohydrates) through photosynthesis; plant
Chloroplast
Helps maintain cell shape and aids in movement of materials in the cell;both
Cytoskeleton
Helps the formation of the spindle to move chromosomes during mitosis; animals
Centriole
What encloses the cell and separates the cytoplasm from its surrounding: regulates what enters and leaves; in both types of cells
Plasma membrane
