Cell parts Flashcards
in biology, the smallest unit that can perform all life processes; cells are covered by a membrane and contain DNA and cyptoplasm
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
Is a fluid inside of a cell
Cytoplasm
is a protective layer that covers the cell’s surface and acts as a barrier
Cell Membrane
is a rigid structure that gives support to a cell
Cell wall
is the organelle in which sugar is broken down to produce energy
Mitochondira/Mitochondrion
are organelles in plant and algae cells in which photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast
The organelle that packages and distributes proteins is called
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
structures that perform specific functions within the cell
Organelle
single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryote
Organisms made of eukaryotic cells are called
