cell flash cards
Cell
he smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body
Nucleucs
controls and regulates the activities of the cell and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information
Cytoplasm
provides shape to the cell
Cell membrane
made of lipids and proteins, and they serve a variety of barrier functions for cells and intracellular organelles.
Cell wall
a rigid, external layer that is specifically designed to provide structural support and
rigity
Mitochondria / Mitochondrion
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions
Chloroplast
A chloroplast is a type of membrane-bound organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells
Golgi complex
A chloroplast is a type of membrane-bound organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells
Endoplasmic reticulum
to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function
Ribosome
a complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that produce proteins from amino acids during a process called protein synthesis or translation.
Lysosome
They break down excess or worn-out cell parts
Vacuole
stores salts, minerals, pigments and proteins within the cell
Organelle
store genetic information
Prokaryote
Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles
Eukaryote
generation of metabolic energy
