cell parts Flashcards
surrounds the cell and is a selective barrier between the interior and the exterior
cell membrane
its primary role lies in regulating the passage of substances, including nutrients and waste materials
cell membrane
it envelopes the cell, to maintain the structures and functions
cell membrane
is composed of lipid bilayer
cell membrane
pertains to the fluid portion of the cell
cytoplasm
also called as the “soup” of the cell
cytoplasm
is a membrane-bound organelle that contains genetic material
cell nucleus
is the largest organelle inside the cell
cell nucleus
is a highly regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells
nuclear envelope
is a type of protoplasm that is made up mostly of water, a mixture of various molecules, and dissolved ions
nucleoplasm
is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
nucleolus
it is bounded protein which serves as packaging for DNA
chromosomes
enclosed with specialized subunit that located inside the cell performed individual task
cytoplasmic organelles
site for protein synthesis
ribosome
is a complex network of flattened sacs and tubes
endoplasmic reticulum
are flattened sacks of membranes that modify the proteins
golgi apparatus
is the powerhouse of the cell
mitochondria
single membranous sac that plays important roles in storage of materials
vacuole
it involves breaking down molecules
cellular digestion
is a small membrane bordered structure that contains powerful enzymes necessary for cellular digestion
lysosomes
garbage disposal of cell, also known as the “scavengers of the cell”
lysosomes
it is known to be the cell coat that is located in the outer part of the animal cell
glycocalyx
are membrane-bound organelles that contain an abundance of enzymes for detoxifying harmful substances and lipid metabolism
peroxisomes
it is composed of collective network of protein filaments
cytoskeleton
