Cell Structure Flashcards
Surrounds the cell, controls the movement of materials both into and out of the cell, semi-permeable - some materials can pass through and some cannot.
Cell Membrane
Cell Membrane
Surrounds the cell, controls the movement of materials both into and out of the cell.
Controls all the life functions of the cell, surrounded by a porous nuclear membrane, inside are chromosomes, which are made from DNA. LIFE FUNCTION: regulation
Nucleus
Nucleus
Controls all the life functions of the cell, surrounded by a porous nuclear membrane, inside are chromosomes, which are made from DNA. LIFE FUNCTION: regulation
Fluid-like material that fills the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm
Fluid-like material that fills the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane
Makes (synthesizes) proteins
Ribosomes
Ribosomes
Makes (synthesizes) proteins
Where are the 2 locations of Ribosomes?
Cytoplasm: makes proteins which stay in the cell
Attached to Endoplasmic Reticulum: Makes proteins which leave the cell
Found inside the nucleus, synthesizes ribosomes
Nucleolus
Nucleolus
Found inside the nucleus, synthesizes ribosomes
A network of channels that transports substances mad in the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A network of channels that transports substances mad in the cell
Surrounds the nucleus and is covered in ribosomes. It transports proteins.
Rough ER
Rough ER
Surrounds the nucleus and is covered in ribosomes. It transports proteins.
Not covered in ribosomes, produces fat and carbohydrates
Smooth ER
Smooth ER
Not covered in ribosomes, produces fat and carbohydrates
Called the powerhouse of the cell because it produces energy through the process of cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
Mitochondria
Called the powerhouse of the cell because it produces energy through the process of cellular respiration.
They modify, sort, and package proteins. Proteins come here after moving through the rough ER and then released from the cell.
Golgi Bodies
Golgi Bodies
They modify, sort, and package proteins. Proteins come here after moving through the rough ER and then released from the cell.
Storage sacs in the cell
Vacuole
Vacuole
Storage sacs in the cell
Stores waste materials and helps digest food in one=celled organisms, break down damaged or old cell parts in multi-cellular organisms.
Lysosome, aka suicide sac of the cell
Lysosome, aka suicide sac of the cell
Stores waste materials and helps digest food in one=celled organisms, break down damaged or old cell parts in multi-cellular organisms.
Pair of cylinder shaped structures that aid in cell division, only found in animal cells.
Centrioles
Centrioles
Pair of cylinder shaped structures that aid in cell division, only found in animal cells.
A non-living structure which surrounds, supports, and protects the plant cells only.
Cell Wall
Cell Wall
A non-living structure which surrounds, supports, and protects the plant cells only.
Acts as both skeleton and muscle for a cell
Cytoskeleton
Cytoskeleton
Acts as both skeleton and muscle for a cell
Only in plant cells, contain the green pigment chlorophyll, carry out the process of photosynthesis, which is how green plants make their own food.
Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts
Only in plant cells, contain the green pigment chlorophyll, carry out the process of photosynthesis, which is how green plants make their own food.

invented single lens microscope
Robert Hooke
developed a more modern microscope and used it to examine cork, named cells after monk cells
