Cell Parts And Functions! Flashcards
0
Q
Nucleus?
A
- Control center of the cell
- Surrounded by a nuclear membrane
1
Q
Mitochondria?
A
- Powerhouse of the cell
- Center of respiration
2
Q
Cytoplasm?
A
- Jelly like fluids outside the nucleus
- Contains organelles
3
Q
Cell Membrane?
A
- The outer boundary of a cell(animal)
- Separates the cell from other cells
- Allows molecules to pass through
4
Q
Vacuoles?
A
- Clear fluid sacs that act as storage for food, minerals, and waste
- Plant cells often have one large vacuole
5
Q
Ribosomes?
A
- Small spherical bodies that help make proteins
- Found in the cytoplasm or attached to the E.R
6
Q
Lysosomes?
A
- Small structures that contain enzymes which are used in digestion
- Traps and digests waste and foreign invaders
7
Q
Endoplasmic Reticulum?
A
- Systems of membranes throughout the cyto plasm
- It connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane
- Passageway for material moving though the cell
8
Q
Golgi Bodies?
A
- Tube like structures that have tiny sacs at their ends.
- They help package protein.
9
Q
Specialized cell?
A
- A cell that can perform a specific function
- Example=Red blood cells carry oxygen in the blood
10
Q
How do cells specialize?
A
- They arose from a single cell with a single set of DNA instructions
- Single-celled organisms cannot specialize nor show specialization
11
Q
Nucleolus?
A
- Structure found in the nucleus
- Makes ribosomes
12
Q
Chloroplast?
A
-An organelle that contain chlorophyll,which gathers energy from the sun
13
Q
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?
A
- Packages proteins
- Makes lipids(fats)
- Breaks down some materials
- Does not contain ribosomes
14
Q
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
A
- Packages proteins
- Makes lipids(fats)
- Breaks down some material
- Contains ribosomes
