Cells (2) Flashcards
an elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll. Photosynthesis takes place in the “”.
Chloroplast
the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.
Cytoplasm
a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for “export” from the cell.
Golgi body
they are the double-membraned organelles found in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. They provide energy by breaking down carbohydrate and sugar molecules, hence they are also referred to as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
Mitochondrion
the membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
Nuclear membrane
an organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced.
Nucleolus
spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus. The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes).
Nucleus
