Cell Modification Flashcards
composed of a very thin layer of lipids and protein materials that partly divides the cell elements from its environment. It functions like a wall with gates that controls the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.
cell membrane
wherein cytoplasmic materials are working together and considered as the machinery of the entire cytoplasm. Each little organ performs a specific task.
cytoplasm
central role in cellular reproduction and in conjunction with the environment; it directs the metabolic activities of the cell.
nucleus
Relatively short projection extending from the cell surface and consists of two central and nine pairs of peripheral microtubules.
cilia
For the cell movement, allow the materials to move on surface of some tissues
cilia
Long tail/whip-like appearance, made up two central and nine pairs of peripheral mictrotubules
flagella
Cell locomotion, allows the sperm cells propels to reach the final destination
flagella
Minute finger-like projection
microvilli
Sites of osmosis where fluid may pass in and out of the cell
microvilli
In pockets of the cell membrane where filled up of water
pinocytic vesicle
Engulfs a droplet of water, cell is able to drink
pinocytic vesicle
Small rounded dark bodies
ribosomes
workbenches of protein material
ribosomes
Sausage like organelle, elongated threadlike bodies
mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell, builder of energy known ATP for cell cellular respiration
mitochondria
Forming the network of microtubules, intermediate fibers and microfilaments
cytoskeleton
maintain cell shape motility, forms the internal framework
cytoskeleton
Highly variable network of membrane that extend throughout the cytoplasm
endoplasmic reticulum
Protein and membrane synthesis, intercellular transport vesicles of protein materials
endoplasmic reticulum
No ribosomes on its surface
smooth er
Detoxification of drugs, synthesis of lipids
smooth er
Ribosomes stud on the surface
rough er
Membrane and protein manufacture
rough er
Stacks of flattened membranous sacs
golgi body
Packaging and the center storage of protein
golgi body
Double-membrane sac enclosed internally by thylakoid membranes; chloroplasts contain green pigment known as chlorophyll
plastids
Plant pigments or nutrient storage center.
plastids
Membranous sacs that are present in animals
lysosomes
Powerful digestive enzyme storage, secretions, waste
lysosomes
Membranous sacs containing a variety of enzymes
peroxisomes
Site of many diverse metabolic reactions
peroxisomes
Membrane-enclosed cavities filled with either fluid of granular structure of material
vacuole
Expel excess water and waste from the cell known as contractile vacuoles; food vacuoles contain food, maintain hyrdostatic pressure.
vacuole
Tubular shape that made up of tubulin protein
microtubules
Give structural support, cell mobility, for cellular division
microtubules
Rod-shape tubules, solid rounded-like shape that contain tubulin protein
microfilaments
For the movement of cytoplasmic organelles, responsible for cell division, gives support
microfilaments
Microscopic thin thread structure, hairy-like that made up of protein fibers
intermediate filaments
Helps to make the cell to become strong, maintaining the cell shape.
intermediate filaments
Pair of rounded tubular bodies, located behind the nucleus
centrioles
Forms spindle fibers during cellular division, fo the movement of cytoplasmic organelles, for cell reproduction
centrioles
