cell parts Flashcards
the smallest unit that can preform all life processes; cells are covered by a membrane and have DNA and cytoplasm
cell
in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell’s DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
nucleus
the fluid inside the cell
Cytoplasm
a phospholipid layer that covers a cell’s surface; acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell’s environment.
Cell membrane
a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell.
Cell wall
in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration.
Mitochondrion
the organelle that uses the energy of sunlight to make food.
Chloroplast
the organelle that processes and transports proteins and other materials out of cell.
Golgi complex
the organelle that makes lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, and packages proteins for golgi complex
Endoplasmic reticulum
the organelle in which amino acids are hooked together to make proteins.
Ribosome
the organelle that digests food particles, wastes,cell parts, and foreign invaders.
Lysosome
the organelle that stores water and other materials
Vacuole
one of the small bodies in a cell’s cytoplasm that are specialized to perform a specific function
Organelle
an organism that consists of a single cell that dose not have a nucleus.
Prokaryote
an organism made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane; eukaryotes include animals, plants, and fungi, but not archaebacteria or eubacteria
Eukaryote
