cells Flashcards
what is cytoplasm
the jelly like part of the cell and it takes up most of the cellit is always moving and distributes materials through the cell
organelle
a structure within an animal and plant cell that performs a certain function
mitochandria
an oval or bean shaped organelle that produces energy
ribosomes
the organelle that produces protein
nucleus
the most easily seen organelle in the cell which is said to be the control center it also contains the genetic material
lysosome
this organelle breaks down parts of the cell that are no longer needed for survival
endoplasmic reticulum
a system of canals in the cytoplasm where materials are transported to different organelles
golgi apparatus
the organelle that stores protein until it is needed later
cell wall
this is a structure that surrounds the outermost part of only the plant cell it provides extra support needed . It also allows things to pass in and out of the cell
vacuole
the organelle that is used as a storage place for food and water
chloroplast
photosynthesis takes place in this organelle but only in plant cells
cell membrane
acts like a skin that would cover and protect the cell . It also controls the movement of things in and out of the cell
cytoskeleton
Long thin structures that give support and structure to the cell
Microtubu
cytoskeleton
Long thin structures that give support and structure to the cell
Microtubu
cilia
Small finger-like projections
Composed of microtubules and used for locomotion
