cell parts Flashcards
Chloroplast
Organelle in plants that uses light energy to make glucose in a process called
photosynthesis
Cell wall
Firm, fairly rigid structure found outside of plants for support.
Cell membrane
Serves as a semi-permeable boundary between the cell and its environment.
lysosomes
Contains digestive enzymes to break down harmful substances
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Organelle that hugs the nucleus and has ribosomes attached to it.
Certain molecules must travel through this structure when they are large and/or polar
protein pump
mitochondria
Known as the “powerhouses of the cell,” mitochondria produce the energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning
golgi appartus
processes and packages proteins and lipids for use inside and outside the cell
ribosomes
produce protein and part of the mRna
Organelle in plants that uses light energy to make glucose in a process called
photosynthesis
Chloroplast
vacuole
space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
cytoplasm
holding the components of the cell and protects them from damage. I
