cell parts Flashcards
in biology, the smallest unit that can perform all life processes; cells that are covered by a membrane and have DNA and cytoplasm.
cell

one of the small bodies in a cell’s cytoplasm that are special-ized to perform a specific function.
organelle
the organelle that contains the cell’s DNA and is the control center of the cell.
nucleus
the organelle in which amino acids are hooked together to make proteins.
ribocome
the organelle that makes lipids break down drugs and other substances, and packages pr-teins for Golgi complex.
endoplasmic reticulum
the organelle that breaks down food molecules to make ATP
mitochondria
the organelle hat uses the energy of sunlight to make food
chloroplast
the organelle that processes and transports proteins and other materials out of the cells.
Golgi complex

vacuole
the organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell, parts, and foreign invaders.
