Cell Structure and Function Flashcards
Organism whose cells have no definite nucleus
Prokaryotes
Organisms whose cells have nucleus
Eukaryotes
It is separated internally into numerous little organs
Organelles
Organelles that is only in Plant Cell
Cell wall, Chloroplast
Organelles only in Animal Cell
Lysosome and Centriole
Controls passage of organic molecules and wastes into and out of the cell
Plasma Membrane
Provides structure to cell; medium in which organelles are found
Cytoplasm
Cell organelle that houses DNA and directs synthesis of ribosomes and proteins
Nucleus
Protein synthesis
Ribosomes
ATP production/cellular respiration; power house of the cell
Mitochondria
Storage and transport; digestive function in plant cell
Vacuoles
Unspecified role in cell division in animal cell; organizing center of microtubules in animal cell
Centrosome
Digestion of macromolecules; recycling worn-out organelles
Lysosomes
Protection, structural support and maintenance of cell shape
Cell Wall
Photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
